Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops, and he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops. He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king, and to his praises we shall always sing. Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer! Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer tiddly beer beer beer. The Curtis bar, the James' Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well one thing you can be sure of, its Charlie's beer they sell so all ye lads a lasses at eleven O'clock ye stop for five short seconds, remember Charlie Mops 1 2 3 4 5 A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick, the kind of lubrication to make your engine tick. 40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks. Its only eight pence hapenny and one and six in tax, 1 2 3 4 5 He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king, and to his praises we shall always sing. Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer! Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer tiddly beer beer beer. The Lord bless Charlie Mops! The Gosling Reborn words and music Marc Gunn Like a mystical swan from Avalon My heart erupts from the myst across glassy waters, Gliding in holy ascension From the macabre of past disappointment Into a New World Of Chivalric Songs, Set in new, unimaginable landscapes, Encapsulated with enchanting trees And a more enchanting lady. She's like the gosling reborn As a phoenix to the experience Of lifting her head from the ashes, A new magical life perched on a swollen birch Singing to the glory of Serendipity and answered prayers, Like a zephyr we launch into the light Of the dawning day Our backs to the cloudy walls of uncertainty. American Beer words and music unknown (possibly Seamus Kennedy) I was having a jar in Pat Flannagan's bar, T'was only last Saturday night. When in walked a chap from a U.S. coach tour, The kind you can tell by sight. He stepped up to Flannagan tending the bar And pulling some pints as he should. As he slapped a rude hand on the counter he yelled, "Hey, Barkeep! Gimme a Bud!" "Young fellow, you're drinking in Ol'Ireland now, And we have no American brew. We've got Guinness and Murphy's and Beamish and Harp And I might find a Smithwick's or two." The tourist responded and still much too loud, "You ain't got a Bud? Well, up yours! Guess I'll have to make do with the second best then, So Barkeep, make it a Coors!" Well Flannagan's really a patient old man And quietly he explained, Once again about porters and lagers and ales, Although his composure was strained. "I'm tellin' ye lad we've no Bud or no Corrs, No Miller, no Red Dog, or Schlitz." The American sat there becoming enraged. I thought he was going to have fits. "Then gimme whatever's the closest you've got To American beer," he rants. So Flannagan cheerfully picked up a glass And sauntered right into the gents. He pulled on the chain, dipped the glass in the bowl And came back all done in plain sight. This is close as we get to American beer. Be glad I flushed, now it's a light.

Just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying your podcasts (both the pubsongs and others). I started with the most recent pubcast, then a few random ones, and now I've gone back to the beginning. I'm now a mom with kids, but 20+ years back I was a renfest-going Marklander in Virginia. This has brought back old songs I hadn't thought of in a long time, but I'm enjoying the stuff that's new to me too. I love the mix of traditional and fun, and decided on the Fairy Tales CD for my first purchase. I've bought a few singles by other artists you've featured as well. My daughter and son (ages 8 and 6) are also enjoying the ones I let them listen to, and as I write my daughter is begging me for Irish dancing classes.
Thank you, and keep up the good work!
