Glass Hammer - The King's Beer lyrics
[Glass Hammer - The King's Beer lyrics]
I've got no use for dragons
I've got no use for swords
I'll never make a wordy toast
To a table full of lords
Of pearls and opals give me none
Of rubies red as fire
The beer at The Prancing Pony
Is all that I desire
Some kings may sip from a cup of gold
But a wooden mug is all I'll hold!
To drink the dainty mead of kings
I never did aspire!
The King once marched to Morannon Gate
With an army proud and fair
To take the war of Mordor
To the Dark Lord's very lair
And when at last the day was won
A new age for the world begun
And Butterbur made his finest brew
There never was a better!
The hour late, my thirst was great
The crowd began to sing
But all grew quiet, for what a sight
When in there walked the King!
A round he bought for the happy throng
And then the King began a song
He raised his mug of beer on high
And this is what he said
Some kings may sip from a cup of gold
But a wooden mug is all I'll hold!
To drink the dainty mead of kings
I never did aspire!
I've got no use for swords
I'll never make a wordy toast
To a table full of lords
Of pearls and opals give me none
Of rubies red as fire
The beer at The Prancing Pony
Is all that I desire
Some kings may sip from a cup of gold
But a wooden mug is all I'll hold!
To drink the dainty mead of kings
I never did aspire!
The King once marched to Morannon Gate
With an army proud and fair
To take the war of Mordor
To the Dark Lord's very lair
And when at last the day was won
A new age for the world begun
And Butterbur made his finest brew
There never was a better!
The hour late, my thirst was great
The crowd began to sing
But all grew quiet, for what a sight
When in there walked the King!
A round he bought for the happy throng
And then the King began a song
He raised his mug of beer on high
And this is what he said
Some kings may sip from a cup of gold
But a wooden mug is all I'll hold!
To drink the dainty mead of kings
I never did aspire!
