Ye Bishops and Curates, Priests, Deacons, and
Vicars, [true,
When once you have tasted, you'll own it is
That Nottingham ale is the best of all liquors,
And none understand what is good like to
you. [paper,
It dispels ev'ry vapour, saves pen, ink, and
For, when you've a mind in the pulpit to
rail, [without notes,
'Twill open your throats, you may preach
When inspir'd with a bumper of Nottingham
Chorus. Nottingham ale, boys, &c. [ale. |
Ye Doctors, who more execution have done,
With powder and potion, and bolus and pill, Than hangman with halter, or soldier with gun, Or miser with famine, or lawyer with quill; To despatch us the quicker, you forbid us malt liquor, Till our bodies consume, and our faces grow pale; Let him mind you who pleases—what cures all disease is A comforting glass of good Nottingham ale. Chorus. Nottingham ale, boys, &c. |
