If you like to eat good food
Plus enjoy yourself as well
There is this little place I work
It's called the Hannans Hotel
T-bone or rump are our steaks
With salad, veg or chips
4 yummy gravies from which to choose
Just wait till it hits your lips
Battered, crumbed or lightly grilled
Our fish deserves a taste
Served with lemon and tartae sauce
I assure there'll be no waste
How would you like a roast tonight
With veggies fresh and hot
Pork or lamb, chook and beef
Even silverside we've got
A chicken parma or a hearty soup
Plus the wet dish of the night
Which could include a casserole
Or a chilli, so watch that bite
Now when your bellies nice and full
The bar's just a step away
Sit back, relax and have a beer
And enjoy the Hannans way.

Anchored by its feet hangs the carcass
Butcher removes brisket and strings it
Chuck steak diced for stews and pies
Dark well matured silverside rests
Entrails give the dogs a royal feast
Flank minced for spaghetti bolognese
Gullet chopped into stock pot simmers
Hanging meat swings as the butcher works
Icy still from the blast chiller
Juicy steaks thickly cut are parcelled up
Kebabs skewered, placed on display
Loin of beef neatly lined up
Minced steak patties for burgers
Neck used in both stock pot and stew
Offal set aside for pate and pies
Perfectly roasted beef ready to carve
Quick flash fry of rib eye seals in juices
Rump not too trimmed dribbles on grill
Sirloin anointed by a king sizzling
Tongue gently braised in gravy or stock
Utensils casting shadows on the wall
Venison from red deer's makes tasty things
Wing rib rubbed with hot spices waits
Xhosa cattle graze in pastures green
Yellowed meats set aside for soup
Zibeline hides scrapped and cured, nailed up
