So what ARE we supposed to slake our thirst with?
Water? That stuff'll kill ya.
Camomille tea? Save that fer the elves.
Birch Beer and Hard Cider? Good enough fer them Gnomes and Halflings.
Come on boys, lets tell em why...
[SINGS - to the tune of HAIR]
She asks me why...I'm just a thirst guy
I'm thirsty noon and night; Beer that's just right.
I'm thirsty high and low,
Don't ask me why; don't know!
It's not for lack of gold
Like the Living Dead; sonny
Gimme a mug with beer, sweet frothy beer
Shining, gleaming, teaming, golden, flowin
Give me up to there, beer!
Just say when, More (beer!)
Here baby, there maybe, Put it there, buddy, buddy.
CHORUS:
Beer! (beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer)
Flow it, Pour it;
Long as Gods can grow hopps, My Beer!
Let it foam in the mug and get spilled on the rug
Give a home to the suds in my beer
A home for suds, to soak my duds
A cold tall drink, not in the sink
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my…
CHORUS
I want it cold, neat, hearty, heady
Tapping, sapping, slapping backs and
Golden, Bold an’, cold an’, sold in
Kegs and beggin’, served at weddings
Bitters, Stout, just hear me out
Ale, Pale, puts me in jail
Wet, in debt, next round is set
O-oh, Say can you seeeee;
Then you need one more!
Chug it down, Chug it down,
Chug it down, Chug it down,
You only rent…
doo doo doo doo doot-doot doo doo doot (repeat: no chord)
They'll be at the Pig and Thistle
when they see me wet my whistle
My beard soaked of blond, amber, dark and Pilsner brew
My beer like Moradin’s crew
A Guiness pint that you can chew
Hallelujah Hera loved her son
Why don't my Mother love me?
CHORUS (three times to end)
My apologies to Gerome Ragni, James Rado, Galt MacDermot, and Michael Butler... and to any one whoever performed in the musical HAIR.
