Beer is seen everywhere in Cambodia,
You'll be lucky enough to taste beer here:
E'en ABC, Tiger and Heineken,
Ganzberg, Angkor, Cambodia -- to mention.
Almost from any country of the world,
Just to make 'a beer man-made lake' go pearled:
Millions of liters in yearly amount,
Pour into this poor State, on no account.
Thus, Cambodia could attract more tourists,
By its 'swimming beer-lake' opportunists,
And quasi-empty State coffers remain,
People enjoy drunkenness to complain.
O road accidents happen everyday,
Their causes as everyone feels dismay,
Are drunkenness e'en the police shake head,
Beyond imagination: nothing's said.
And locally-made 'natural beer' drunk here,
A popular product of Cambodia,
Raw palm-juice beer's made on top of palm-trees,
Overnight, it tastes sour-sweet to please.
What a pleasant taste for you to enjoy !
It's called here 'teuk Tnaot ju' and for your joy.
See a man atop a palm-tree shown here,
Make it the way it's been made 'Khmer Beer.'

The type of Khmer [natural] Beer has been made traditionally for centuries now "just overnight" on the very top of palm-trees to have it taste deliciously sour-sweet. Commoners enjoy it with grilled meat at family-size parties and some cases, though seen as a bit mean on the part of the organizers, it is joyfully served at wedding parties, for instance, as in early 1980s after Cambodia quit the Killing Field regime.
