The local bottle breathes no fire, my friend,
Forget the name, the deed's the only end.
The Johnny Walker's sting, a sharper bite,
Though darkness cloaks thee, dark as night,
A man of England, in the fading light.

I shall drink, sir, I shall drink, I shall drink,
The foreign liquor, on the very brink.
I shall drink, sir, I shall drink.
That thrill, that joy, can't be found in this,
Where is this, where is that, a kite's embrace, a coloured bliss.
This dust, that flower, this wine so ill,
A thing so poor, my soul won't fill,
I shall drink, sir, drink that foreign pill.
I shall drink, sir, I shall drink, I shall drink,
The foreign liquor, on the very brink.

Local brew, a wonder, taste a sip,
Open your mouth, a single word to grip,
A toast to me, a gamble you must take,
Win or lose, the stakes you make.
I'll drink today, without a break,
I’ll drink today without a break.
I'll drink the local, the earth it makes.
I shall drink, sir, I shall drink, I shall drink,
The foreign liquor, on the very brink.

Shed that pride, don’t break my heart, unknown, unloved,
Just a farewell, take this drink, then I'll be gone, returned.
That fortress, what a wondrous thing, I'll give a sign,
Hear your answer, I shall drink, and make it mine.
Hear your answer, I shall drink.
I shall drink, sir, I shall drink, I shall drink,
The foreign liquor, on the very brink.
