This last weekend I heard a feller sing "I Like Beer", and comic song I'd love to learn. I asked him to sing it again so I could tape it, but his E-NUN-CI-A-TION is not all it could be, and I'm not at all sure I can figure it all out. Does anybody have the text?

Darn, but it sounds interresting. Sorcha, your link takes me to a dead end. It's probably my ineptitude, bot could you recheck--or give the address and I'll type it in.

THanks a bunch.

Strange, works fine for me. Here they are:

I Like Beer - Tom T. Hall

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
But this little song is more to the point
so roll out the barrel and lend me your ear

(chorus)
I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow
(makes him feel mellow)

Whiskeys too rough Champaign cost too much
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
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

(Chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I'd passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
All water was clear and it tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

(Chorus)

(Yes he likes beer)

Thanx for the lyrics.

From the link I got a message something like "Sorry, we can't find the page you asked for" from Yahoo.

Funny. Works fine for me. Nice song. I remember it well. From the late sixties, early seventies.

Wow, I remember this song. It was a minor hit for Mr Hall. THanks for the posting.
