I Like Beer
(sung by Tom T. Hall).
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned, The fact
that I like to drink beer.
Now this little song is more to the point.
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears.
I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer. It helps me unwind,
Sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
(Makes him feel mellow.)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much,
An' that vodka puts my mouth in gear.
This little refrain should help me explain,
As a matter of fact I like beer.
(He likes beer.)
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town,
An' I'm wearing a suit and a tie.
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth,
When I yell as the waiter goes by.
Hey, I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer. It helps me unwind,
Sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
(Makes him feel mellow.)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much,
An' that vodka puts my mouth in gear.
This little refrain should help me explain,
As a matter of fact I like beer.
(He likes beer.)
Now, last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene,
I went to a place so sublime.
The water was clear and it tasted like beer.
They turned it all into wine.
(groan)
Hey, I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer. It helps me unwind,
Sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
(Makes him feel mellow.)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much,
An' vodka puts my mouth in gear.
Oh, this little refrain should help me explain,
As a matter of fact I like beer.
Yes we like beer.
Yes...we...like...beeeeeeerrrrr!
