I Like Beer

(Tom T. Hall)



In some of my songs I have casually mentioned

The fact that I like to drink beer

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 and sometimes it makes me feel mellow

(Makes him feel mellow)

Whiskey's too rought champaigne costs too much

And 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

And I'm wearing a suit and a tie

She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncute

While I yell as the waiter goes by.



I like beer

It makes me a jolly good fellow

I like beer

It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow

(Makes him feel mellow)

Whiskey's too rought champaigne costs too much

And vodka puts my mouth in gear

This little refrain should help me explain

As a matter of fact I like beer

(He likes beer.)



Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene

And I went to a place so sublimed

All the water was clear and tasted like beer

Then they turned it all into wine.



I like beer

It makes me a jolly good fellow

I like beer

It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow

(Makes him feel mellow)

Whiskey's too rought champaigne costs too much

And vodka puts my mouth in gear

This little refrain should help me explain

As a matter of fact I like beer

(He likes beer.)



(Yes, he likes beer...)
