HEILEMAN'S
When you smell the yeast goin’ up your nose
You know La Crosse business is givin’ you the hose
It’s great to drink but it’s terrible to smell
It can only be the one and only
Heileman’s! They make a lot of money
Heileman’s! They’re neat for the town
Heileman’s! A big success story
But they smell really bad sometimes
Saturday night you put it in one end
Sunday mornin’ it comes out the other end
And it leaves you stranded in bed
And all day it rules your head
Heileman's!
Russell Cleary was a big man in this town
Workin’ from sunup until sundown
Buyin’ up breweries and brewin’ up beer
Then he sold out to some Australian
And he got the hell out of Heileman’s!
Let me introduce you to Power Master
It’ll take you to Nirvana so much faster
With just a little bit of PowerMaster
Unless you’re a priest
Or a media beast
Or a cop on the beat
Or some kids on the street
It’s our great song and you can’t sing any of it
La la la la la
We originally wrote this tune back in 1984
When gettin’ ripped was lots of fun
But it ain’t anymore
Now we’re drinkin’ water
They sell it in a can
Lemon, lime and raspberry
I’ve got a sober band thanks to Heileman’s
