Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Talk about the shade of the sheltering palms
Praise the bamboo tree and its wide-spreading charms
There’s a little bush that grows right here in town
You know its name, it has won such renown
Often with my sweetheart just after the play
To this little place then my footsteps will stray
If she hesitates when she looks at the sign
Softly I whisper, “Now Sue, don’t decline”
Chorus
Come, come, come and make eyes with me
Under the Anheuser Bush
Come, come drink some “Budwise” with me
Under the Anheuser Bush
Hear the old German band
Just let me hold your hand, Yah!
Do, do come and have a stein or two
Under the Anheuser Bush
- Rave about the place where your swells go to dine
Picture Sue and me with our sandwich and stein
Underneath the bush where the good fellows meet
Life seems worth living, our joy is complete
If you’re sad at heart, take a trip there tonight
You’ll forget your woe and your eyes will grow bright
There you’ll surely find me with my sweetheart Sue
Come down this ev’ning I’ll introduce you
