Story behind the song

I did not write it, it's hundreds of years old though

Lyrics

O Ale Abalendo, thou liquor of life,
would I had a mouth as big as a whale,
but mine is too little to sound the least tittle
that belongs to the praise of a pot of good ale.
Although it will never be as big as I wish
yet still I'll endeavour to drink like a fish!
