Elixir Of Life

When the smell just hits you As you walk through the door And you just want to collapse And crawl under the floor Your stomach starts heaving And you just start to think I’m just going to die if I have another drink Then you see the little bottle I’m its brown paper twist And soon after feel the effect Of its herbal healing kiss And thanks to Underberg The drinkers amazing friend You’ll likely still be standing At another heavy nights end. The recipe’s a guarded secret But its effects so well know It should be awarded A Nobel Prize of its own Raise a glass to Underberg Helping a night go as planned When at the start of the evening You felt you could barely stand.

It was invented in Germany in 1846 ands is still manufactured by the same family firm. Other than it is alcohol and 43 different herbs the recipe is secret.. I think to is sold worldwide. Great for hangovers and upset stomachs. Many thanks ilene
