You didn't indicate in your post whether or not you had all the words. To the best
of my recollection, it went:
"My beer is Rhinegold the dry beer,
Think of Rhinegold whenever you buy beer,
It's not bitter, not sweet,
Extra dry flavored treat,
Won't you try extra dry Rhinegold beer."
Hope these words, dredged up from half a century ago, help. I don't know the
musical origin though. Frank Galiani
