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.

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.
