WE STILL DRINK THE OLD WAYS

(Music: Gutjahr/Thorwarth/Zissel)
(Lyrics: Bulgaropulos/Geremia)

Back in old land of beer
In 1516 times
Unvirtuous brewers ruined the business
Spoiling and polluting the beer with grubby things

Duke of Bavaria
Forced laws that guaranteed
Needs of the people for healthy protection
Oldest consumer rights today

Chorus
We drink the old ways!
You’re asking what, you’re asking why
We’re into "pure stuff"! Preservatives: we don’t comply!
Don’t comply! We still drink the old ways!
Don’t comply! We still drink the old ways!

Wise rules, pleasant tradition
Make beer fans satisfied

Service and handicraft
Pure beer means quality
It’s a commitment, and it’s essential
Purity of barley, water, hops and yeast

Nine hundred breweries
Are there in this country
They care for standards, masters of enzymes
Just girls and wimps drink import-beer

Chorus
We drink the old ways!
You’re asking what, you’re asking why
We’re into "pure stuff"! Preservatives: we don’t comply!
Don’t comply! We still drink the old ways!
Don’t comply! We still drink the old ways!
Don’t comply! We still drink the old ways!

Your choice, to pick a good mass
Stay clean, and drink with class!

Chorus
We drink the old ways!
You’re asking what, you’re asking why
We’re into "pure stuff"! Preservatives: we don’t comply!
Don’t comply! We still drink the old ways!
Don’t comply! We still drink the old ways!
Don’t comply! We still drink the old ways!
Don’t comply!
