I know a tale that very surely must be told

 Hard to believe, but certainly as true as gold

 It's an enigma, an exception in mankind

 Hark to my words and let the story twist your mind



There was a man who lived in the U.S.

 Quite average he was, I must confess

 Quite decent, fair and settled as they say

 And here the story takes its course



Fooled by your guts -

They're brewing alcohol

 Fooled like a klutz -

 Fooled by your own brewing guts

 Belly-brewed beer -

 Who ever heard of that?

 Belly of fear -

 Fear of your own belly-beer



They found him drunk with 3,70 per mill

 "I do not drink!" he swore to heaven and to hell

 No one believed him until finally one day

 Special doctor luckily would meet his way



They locked him in a secret hideaway

 And nourished him on diet every day

 Whenever he ate any kind of carbs

 The story sadly took its course



Fooled by your guts -

They're brewing alcohol

 Fooled like a klutz -

 Fooled by your own brewing guts

 Belly-brewed beer -

 Who ever heard of that?

 Belly of fear -

 Fear of your own belly-beer



They found saccharomyces cerevisiae

 Within his guts one liberating day

 A fungus turning starch to alcohol

 Where can I get that one?



Fooled by your guts -

They're brewing alcohol

 Fooled like a klutz -

 Fooled by your own brewing guts

 Belly-brewed beer -

 Who ever heard of that?

 Belly of fear -

 Fear of your own belly-beer

 Fooled by your guts!
