Synister Dane and the Kickapoo Disco Cosmonuts: Music/Lyrics

I Like Beer

(Original music and lyrics by Tom T. Hall, Sony/ATV Acuff Music)
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer.
I like beer
I like beer

In some of my songs
I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like
To drink beer.

And this little song
Is more to the point, so
Roll out the barrell, and
Lend me your ear. (Sing)

I like beer
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer.

My wife often frowns
When I’m out on the town
And I’m wearin’ a suit
And a tie.

She thinks I’m uncooth
As she sips her vermouth
And I yell when a waitress
Walks by. (I yell, hey)

I like beer
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer.

Do, the stuff that buys me beer
Re, the guy who sells me beer
Me, the guy who drinks the beer
Fa, a long way to get beer
So, let’s have another beer
La, la, la, la, la, beer
Te, no thanks I’m drinking beer
And that brings us back to…

I like beer
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer.

Now last night I dreamed
I passed from the scene
And I went to a place
So sublime.

The water was so clear
And it tasted just like beer
Till some guy turned it all
Into wine!

I like beer (wine if fine...)
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer
I like beer. (let’s do one for tom t. hall)

Whiskey’s too rough
Champagne costs too much
Vodka puts my mouth
In gear.

This little refrain
Should help me explain
As a matter of fact
I like beer.
We like our beer.
