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 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

(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 uncouth

When I yell as the waiter goes by

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene

And I went to a place so sublime

Oh, the water was clear and tasted like beer

Then they tur

Ned it all into wine
