I TASTE A LQUOR NEVER BREWED

I taste a liquor never brewed

From tankards scooped in pearl

Not all of the frankfort berries

Could yield such an alcohol

Inebriate of arum I

Debauchee of dew

Reeling through endless summer days

From inns of malt and glue

And now I taste a liquor never brewed

And now I taste a liquor never brewed

When landlords turn the drunken bee

Out of the foxglove's door

When butterflies renounce their drams

I shall drink the more

'Til sailors swing their snowy hats

And saints to windows run

To see the little tippler

Leaning against the sun

Now I taste a liquor never brewed

And now I taste a liquor never brewed

'Til sailors swing their snowy hats

And saints to windows run

To see the little tippler

Leaning against the sun

And now I taste a liquor never brewed

Yeah, I taste a liquor never brewed

And now I taste a liquor never brewed
