Beer Town

Hey!

Out on the ocean, going through the motion

Pulling on a rope in a big deep sea

Sailing with the pirates, causing a commotion

Thinking of the place that I'd rather be

(Beertown)

Gonna jump in the big brown river

(Beertown)

Gonna call that river my home

(Beertown)

Gonna drink 'til it hurts my liver

(Beertown)

Gonna sleep in a puddle of foam, yeah

Out on a big ship, going on a long trip

Late night waiting for the watch to pass

Wishing that the stars were bottles in the bars

And the moon was the bottom of an empty glass

(Beertown)

Gonna jump in the big brown river

(Beertown)

Gonna call that river my home

(Beertown)

Gonna drink 'til it hurts my liver

(Beertown)

Gonna sleep in a puddle of foam

Well, I dreamed of the girls in a harbor town

Pray to the bottle of the beer gone down

Wash my body in golden ale

Pray for the wind and a homeward gale

(Beertown)

Gonna jump in the big brown river

(Beertown)

Gonna call that river my home

(Beertown)

Gonna drink 'til it hurts my liver

(Beertown)

Gonna sleep in a puddle of foam

Well, I pray for the miner that digs the metal

That makes the kegs and the caps for the bottles

That are taken to the place where they bring the ingredients

Grown in the mountains of beautiful Bavaria

And brewed in the kettles 'til they reach perfection

Then taken by the wonderful, magnificent distributor

And loaded on a truck by a guy with a forklift

Driven to the taverns and the clubs and the bars

Where the taps are pulled by the sacred bartender

Living on tips while the waitress carries that

Glistening golden glass through the crowd

And thinking about her final exam, she lowers it

Gently dripping down in diaphanous light

To the table in front of me

And I like having a thumb that's opposable

I like having a mouth and ears

I like the pirates who are sailing on the ocean

And I like the people who bring me beer

(Beertown)

Gonna jump in the big brown river

(Beertown)

Gonna call that river my home

(Beertown)

Gonna drink 'til it hurts my liver

(Beertown)

Gonna sleep in a puddle of foam

(Beertown)

Gonna jump in the big brown river

(Beertown)

Gonna call that river my home

(Beertown)

Gonna drink 'til it hurts my liver

(Beertown)

Gonna sleep in a puddle of foam, yeah, woo!

Huh, hey!
