INBEV WELKOM
Historians know that history teaches many things.
One is that July can be a risky month for kings.
In July Americans told King George to go to hell
And Louis XVI lost his throne, then lost his head as well.
July 2008 was when the King of Beers
Lost out to Belgian raiders after reigning many years.
The leader of these regicides, a guy named Carlos Brito,
Told the King, "Aye, yi, yi, yi, I am the InBev Bandito."
The King told the Bandito, "I'm ready for a fight."
Then they talked in private until the price was right.
The price tag for the kingdom was over fifty billion.
The sources of the cash were both Belgian and Brazilian.
With Belgians and Brazilians coming to Missouri,
I'm pleased to introduce them to the largest local brewery.
In their honor we are serving Belgian beer and mussels,
Delicacies as tasty as what you find in Brussels.
The Schlafly reputation with InBev folks in Leuven
Is so great that some of them have even talked of movin'.
These InBev guys have said they want to get here soon,
Though some say they'll miss "Leuven on a Sunday afternoon."
A perfect combination that really can't be beat
Is Belgian beer from Schlafly to wash down moules et frites.
Brito will enjoy Bière de Garde with moules.
And he'll fit in in St. Louis, 'cause he went to Catholic school.
I do not understand how St. Louisans can be critical
Of a guy who went to high school that was thoroughly Jesuitical.
In Rio, as in Soulard, the folks know how to party.
Before too long Brito will be saying, "Highway Farty."
To Brito I say, "Welkom, boa vinda, bienvenu.
Kick back with a Witbier, Tripel or Grand Cru.
You cannot go wrong with a Schlafly Belgian ale.
Finally, you can read my lips. This brewery's not for sale."
