Bevo 1918 Irving Berlin JPitt-Payne

I used to own a vicious looking dog
who wouldn't bite
I used to know a dang'rous looking man
who couldn't fight,
my brother trained wild animals
but they were really tame,
and now I've tasted of a drink
that strikes me just the same.

Bevo, oh, oh, oh,
Bevo, you're the grandest imitation
that we know,
you're the only drink
that a soldier can pick,
you taste like lager
but you haven't got the kick oh!
Bevo, oh, oh, oh,
Bevo, tho' you haven't got a punch
up your sleeveo
all the soldiers insist
that a Christian Scientist
could easily come
staggering home on Bevo.

Bevo, oh, oh, oh,
Bevo, you're the grandest imitation
that we know,
you're the only drink
that a soldier can pick,
you taste like lager
but you haven't got the kick oh!
Bevo, oh, oh, oh,
Bevo, tho' you haven't got a punch
up your sleeveo
all the soldiers insist
that a Christian Scientist
could easily come
staggering home on Bevo.
