Once there was a tavern yellow
In a bright green vale
The keeper was a nice old fellow
And he served beer and ale
He served all people in the town
Elves and halflings too
Everyone loved to go down
To drink a pint or two
Once a king came in and said
'Give us your finest drink
My courtiers may soon be dead'
Of this did keeper think
But he gave them his best brew
And watched them drink their fill
A visit from a king was new
To keeper ‘twas a thrill
The king was content with the liquor he’d had
And he swore to come again
Even if the weather be bad
He would go inside the rain
Although the king was pleased
He said he wouldn’t pay
At least he couldn’t be appeased
Until the very next day
The king and his courtiers stayed up late
Dancing dance and singing song
They all stayed up till morning at eight
The whole night, it had been long
The king and company were asleep
By the time the cock crowed ten
They’d all toppled into a heap
Long before they woke again
The keeper roused the king from nap
So that his company could leave
He didn’t want to wake the chap
But tugged anyway at his sleeve
King awoke and yelled aloud
That he had been tricked
That with drink he’d been endowed
And with that, out he was kicked
The keeper took the king’s money
And stored it his purse
The scene before seemed a bit funny
Until he heard king curse
The keeper cleaned the tavern yellow
That rested in the green vale
He was still a nice old fellow
Who served beer and ale
