Lyrics

  1. When you watch those T V boxing bouts
    With the fighters swinging hooks and clouts
    The moment that bell begins to sound
    It’s Pabst Blue Ribbon in the very first round

Chorus
What’ll you have? Pabst Blue Ribbon
What’ll you have? Pabst Blue Ribbon
What’ll you have? Pabst Blue Ribbon
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer
Smoother, smoother, smoother flavor
Zest and sparkle millions favor
Taste that smoother, smoother flavor
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer
Finest beer served anywhere
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer

  1. When golfers total up their score
    Wave their hands and yell out: “Four”
    The Four they mean and we ain’t fibbin’
    Is four cold bottles of Pabst Blue Ribbon
  2. In Texas on the Rio Grande
    All the cowboys have a fav’rite brand
    It’s the brand they serve at your local bar
    So, sing out pardner for P. B. R.
