Y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
L'autre jour dans un café
Avec tout un party
En train de prendre de la bière
Avec nos belles petites mères
Je demande au garçon
As-tu de la bière icitte ?
Y me répond sur le même ton
De la grosse ou ben de la petite ?
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Après la grande tournée
On s'est mis t'a danser
À rire et à chanter
Des airs que vous connaissez
On était de bonne humeur
Ça répondait en chœur
Des chansons sans limites
As-tu de la bière icitte ?
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte
Y'a-tu de la bière icitte , y'a-tu de la bière icitte ?
Si y'a pas de bière icitte, on s'en va tout' d'icitte

Is There Any Beer Here?
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
The other day at a café
With a quite a big group
When we'd gone out to drink beer
With our dear little mamas
Here's what I asked the waiter
Do you have any beer here?
He answered in the same tone
A large one or a small?
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
After a round for everyone
We started to dance
To laugh and to sing
Tunes you all know
We were in a good mood
And sang the choruses
Of songs without end
Do you have any beer here?
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here
Is there any beer here, is there any beer here?
If there isn't any beer here, we'll all go away from here

While looking up some context for the Soucy Family's drinking songs, I learned that until 1970, there was a law in Québec forbidding serving draft beer to women. It was principally sold at taverns which were male-only. That explains a lot about this song, which dates to the 1940s or 1950s. The narrator is out with a mixed party, and they stop at a café; he asks the waiter (probably confidentially) whether they can get some beer, and the waiter answers "in the same tone" that they can.
