Thread Name: Lyr Req: In Heaven There Is No Beer
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: In Heaven there is no Beer
Stewie, I think there probably is a more complete version somewhere, but Clean Living's version is a heck of a lot more fun. I've never heard the Brave Combo lyrics anywhere, they must be original with them. It was a well known polka tune, long before Clean Living made it their own. I've never heard polka bands voice some of those sentiments. Barbara (and Frank) can correct me if these lyrics are wrong. :-) It was really fun to see her account of how the song came to be!

In Heaven, there is no beer
That's why we drink it here (AHAA!!)
And when we're gone from here
Well, our friends will be drinking all the beer.

spoken, make that yelled ~~ EVERYBODY SING!

repeat: In Heaven, there is no beer, etc.

Lala La La La La (sing this a bunch of times)

Hot instrumental with whoops, yells, etc.

Repeat two more times. Be sure to insert appropriate La La's, AHAA'S, and whoops whenever you feel like it.

More hot instrumental.
