But after a manly two gallons you've got that statesmanlike Yeltsin glow and could kill a grizzly bare handed for mother Russia.

In full:

Jose can you see
In the barn's Ernie shite
What so proudly we flail
And the highlight's last steaming
Whose bum wipes and slight arse
Through the penis at night
O'er the ramhearts we squashed
Were so gallantly steaming
And the rockers' shed's square
The bums bursting in air
Gave proof through the flight that our bag was still there
Jose does that scar-speckled Janner yet wave
O'er the land of the spreeeeeeeee and the home of the brrrraaaveee.

But remember the intent is not to be patriotic but to get the people on there feet so they will move towards the door.
