THE BEER SONG Doug Moreland
I met this old man sitting here in this bar. He told me stories and tales from afar. I said, "For a world traveler, what are you doing sitting here?" He said, "The beer's as good in here as it is anywhere." I said, "Have you drank all your life?" He said, "Not yet I haven't, son, but we're drinking tonight."
CHORUS: He said, "I've drank lots of beer, man, I've drank lots of beer, From here to Tanzanier, man, I've drank lots of beer. Hold your glasses high in the air. We'll drink lots of beer.
"Like Michelob, Rolling Rock, Honey Brown, Shiner Bock, Newcastle, Red Stripe, Lowenbrau, Coors Light, Negro Modelo, such a fine fellow, Lone Star Beer, and a whole lotta Sol, Dos Equis, Castle, Keystone, and Bass Ale, I've drank a lot of beer.
"Pabst Blue Ribbon, Old Samuel Adams, Bud Light, Corona, Foster's, and Heineken, Nor don Blonde, got the girl on the front. If Homer were here he'd be drinking that Duff. Grolsch, and Guinness, and I ain't finished. I've drank a lot of beer. CHORUS
"Pelican, Stein Lager, Black Label, Budweiser, Miller, Mickey's, Molson makes me sicky, Pearl, and The Beast, Fat Tire, and Pete's, Old Wicked Ale, ah, what the hell, Grolsch, and Guinness, and I ain't finished. I've drank a lot of beer.
