In Honor of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Tom T. Hall Sings, “I Like Beer”

Re-posted by Nicholas Stix

I had hoped to hold back on this presentation until after Judge Kavanaugh had become Justice Kavanaugh, but passing out of the Senate Judiciary Committee is all we can be sure of, at this point. (I'm looking at you, Jeff Flake and Donald Trump!)
 


 

I Like Beer
Words & Music by 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.

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)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene,
And I went to a place so sublime,
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer,
Then they turned it all into wine (Awww)

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)

"I hate FOX books (by FOX news anchors)"
I hate books
By people with spines made of jello.
Tucker is one,Jeanine is not fun
and their books
they never quit trying to sell-o.
(Repeat)Never quit trying to sell-o.
Jarrett has one,so has black Juan.
It's all done with bluster and bellow.
Ohhh this little refrain will quickly explain...as a matter of fact...I hate FOX books.
I hate books by FOX fellows,who claim they're not yellow,when their spines are clearly made up of jello.
Ohh this little refrain from inside my brain,will let you know I hate FOX books.
Jarrett, Bongino
What the hell do we know?
It'll cost you the range of a C note
But Gutfeld is less
And to help with your stress
You can fork over more dough
To Pastor Jeffress
I don't think so
I hate FOX books
GRA:Isn't it enough,they get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to go on the air?Not enough.They have to write books.Then they interview each other to promote them.When I saw Pastor Jeffress hawking his book tonight and this Tom T Hall song appeared,well,I had to write a little ditty myself.
