Since the year of our lord eighteen hundred and eleven
In March, on the seventeenth day
We all raise up a beer and we'll raise up a cheer
For Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yes, here's to brewers yeast, that humblest of all beasts
Producing carbon gas reducing acetaldehyde
But my friends that isn't all -- it makes ethyl alcohol
Yes, that is what the yeast excretes, and that's what we imbibe

Anaerobic isolation
Alcoholic fermentation
NADH oxidation
Give me a beer

Lie didilai dee didilai di-o lie da-o,
Lie didilai dee didilai alcohol

My intestinal wall absorbs that ethanol
And soon it passes through my blood-brain barrier
There's a girl in the next seat who I didn't think that sweet
But after a few drinks I want to marry her
I guess it's not surprising, my dopamine is rising
And my glutamate receptors are all shot
I'd surely be bemoaning all the extra serotonin
But my judgment is impaired and my confidence is not

Allosteric modulation
No long term potentiation
Hastens my inebriation
Give me a beer
Lie didilai dee didilai di-o lie da-o,
Lie didilai dee didilai alcohol

When that ethanol is in me, some shows up in my kidneys
And inhibits vasopressin by degrees
A decrease in aquaporins hinders water re-absorption
And pretty soon I really have to pee
Well my liver breaks it down so my body can rebound
But my store of glycogen is soon depleted
And tomorrow when I'm sober I will also be hungover
Cause I flushed electrolytes that my nerves and muscles needed

Diuretic activation
Urination urination
Urination dehydration
Give me a beer
Lie didilai dee didilai di-o lie da-o,
Lie didilai dee didilai alcohol
