Off-topic: Sleepy, have you ever listened to APP? Tuneful balladeers...
Something else?
Hmm...Well I
did have this prepared...By Tom T. Hall, in a cheerful, thoughtful, Pippin voice.
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned,
The fact that I like to drink beer.
Now 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,
Sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
(Makes him feel mellow.)
Whiskey's too rough, elf-wine costs too much,
An' that ent draught 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,
An' I'm wearing a waistcoat and tie.
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth,
When I yell as the waiter goes by.
- Hey, I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer. It helps me unwind,
Sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
(Makes him feel mellow.)
Whiskey's too rough, elf-wine costs too much,
An' that ent-draught puts my mouth in gear.
This little refrain should help me explain,
As a matter of fact I like beer.
(He likes beer.)
Now, last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene,
I went to a place so sublime.
The water was clear and it tasted like beer.
They turned it all into wine.
- Hey, I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like beer. It helps me unwind,
Sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
(Makes him feel mellow.)
Whiskey's too rough, elf-wine costs too much,
An' that ent-draught puts my mouth in gear.
This little refrain should help me explain,
As a matter of fact I like beer.
Yes we like beer.
Yes we like beer.
