Now when I makes the workers' beer, I puts in strychinine, Some methylated spirits And a drop of paraffin But since a brew so terribly strong Might make them terribly queer, I reaches my hand for the water tap, And I waters the workers' beer. Now ladies fair beyond compare, And be ye maid or wife, O, sometimes lend a thought for one Who leads a sorry life The water rates are shockingly high, And malt is shockingly dear, And there isn't the profit there used to be In wat'ring the workers' beer. Now a drop of good beer is good for a man Who's thirsty and tired and hot, And I sometimes has a drop for myself From a very special lot But a fat and healthy working class Is the thing that I most fear, So I reaches my hand for the water tap, And I waters the workers' beer.
