Tom T. Hall – I Like Beer: Lyrics and Music Video
I Like Beer Lyrics
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…
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…
(yes he likes beer)
