[Man:] That won't do, I'm afraid
[Waiter:] Then try some lemonade A little lemon, a little sugar A little vichy and a straw Makes the very nicest little drink you ever saw You ought to buy one, come on and try one For it's the finest drink that's made Drinks like this'll wet your whistle Have a glass of lemonade
[Man:] That won't do I fear I'd like a glass of beer
[Waiter:] Then have some Bevo Have a drink of Bevo It's the grandest imitation that we know If you care for beer, it's the drink you should pick It tastes like lager but it hasn't got the kick
[Bevo Girl:] Bevo, have a drink of Bevo Though it hasn't got a punch up it's sleeve-o
[Waiter:] Those who drink it insist that a Christian Scientist Could easily come staggering home on Bevo

[The Spirit of Alcohol:] I hear you calling me I am the Spirit of Alcohol For let me assure you one and all I'm not dead, I'm only asleep Some day I'll come back to you
[Chorus:] We hope you do, we hope you do
[The Spirit of Alcohol:] When your laws are not so blue
[Chorus:] We hope you do, we hope you do
[The Spirit of Alcohol:] When you give Prohibition your shoe
[Chorus:] You bet your life we'll kick it Because it's very wicked
[The Spirit of Alcohol:] Say to Mister Temperance you're through
[Chorus:] That's what we'll do, that's what we'll do
[The Spirit of Alcohol:] I'll come back someday With a hip, hip hooray Until I do, I'll give to you A little cocktail that is new
