Bring us in no brown bread, for that is made of bran,
Nor bring us in no white bread, for there-in is no gain;
But bring us in good ale...
Bring us in no beef, for there is many bones,
But bring us in good ale, for that goes down at once;
And bring us in good ale...
Bring us in no bacon, for that is passing fat,
But bring us in good ale, and give us enough of that;
And bring us in good ale...
Bring us in no mutton, for that is often lean,
Nor bring us in no tripes, for they are seldom clean;
But bring us in good ale ...
Bring us in no eggs, for there are many shells,
But bring us in good ale, and bring us nothing else;
And bring us in good ale ...
Bring us in no butter, for there are many hairs,
Nor bring us in no pig's flesh, for that will make us bears;
But bring us in good ale ...
Bring us in no puddings, for there-in's all goats blood,
Nor bring us in no venison, for that's not for our good;
But bring us in good ale ...
Bring us in no capon's flesh for that is often dear,
Nor bring us in no ducks flesh, for they slobber in the mere;
But bring us in good ale!
