A man's best friend
If you please
Is not a dog
But cheddar cheese.
A cheese whose taste
Runs sharp or mellow
Why cheese with beer
Can help a fellow
And make him look
Like a handsome hunk
When he passes some
To a girl that's drunk
In the local pub
If truth be told
When the girls get silly
Then cheese is gold
Where drafts of beer
Make you look better
As she gulps them down
With a side of cheddar!
