Let's have a party an drink up a lot of beer
Let's have a party an drink up a lot of beer
Well, wine is fine but, give me lots of beer
Wanna drink some beer, talk some trash this mornin'
Let's drink some beer 'til the rooster crows at dawnin'
Well, wine is fine but, give me lots of beer
(Drinkin' beer)
Well, early in the mornin'
(Drinkin' beer)
Yes, in the afternoon
(Drinkin' beer)
Yes, in the evenin'
(Drinkin' beer)
Ah, in spring
Wine is fine but give me lots of beer
Now lite beer is real beer
Dark beer's real gone, too
You drink too much ale, you get put in jail
So I think I'll stick to home brew
Drinkin' in the mornin', had a little stout
A little stout'll make you poke way out
Drink it by the case an order some more
Call all the neighbors, they're right next door!
Well, in the evenin'
Well, in the afternoon, drink beer
Well, in the evenin', drink beer
Yes, it's spring
Wine is fine but give me lots of beer!
