11Bring us in no brown bread for that is made of bran, Bring us in no beef, sir, for that is full of bones,
22Nor bring us in no white bread for therein is no game, But bring home good ale enough, for that my love alone is:
33But bring us in good ale. Bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
44 And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.
55Bring us in no beef for there is many bones,
66But bring us in good ale for that goes down at once. Bring us home no wheaten bread, for that be full of bran;
77 Neither of no rye bread, for that is of that same,
88Bring us in no bacon, for that is passing fat, But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
99But bring us in good ale for that gives us enough of that. And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.

1111Bring us in no mutton, for that is often lean, Bring us home no pork, sir, for that is very fat;
1212Nor bring us any tripes for they be seldom clean. Neither no barley bread, for neither love I that,
1313 But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
1414Bring us in no eggys for there are many shells, And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.
1515But bring us in good ale and bring us nothing else.
1616 Bring us in no mutton, sir, for that is tough and lean,
1717Bring us in no butter for there are many hairs, Neither no tripes, sir, for they be seldom clean,
1818Nor bring us in no pig's flesh for that will make us bears. But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
1919 And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.
2020Bring us in no puddings for therein is all God's good,
2121Nor bring us in no venison for that is not for our blood. Bring us home no veal, sir, that do I not desire,
2222 But bring us home good ale enough to drink by the fire;
2323Bring us in no capon flesh for that is often dear, But bring us home good ale, sir, bring us home good ale,
2424Nor bring us in no duck flesh for they slobber in the mere, And for our dear lady, lady love - bring us some good ale.
25But bring us good ale.
