Lyrics Beer Is Great - The Longest Johns

Ho!
Beer is great, beer is grand
I long to hold one in my hand
With frosty head and amber hue
Not much that I wouldn't do

For a pint of ale or smoky stout
Beer goes in, joy comes out
Grab a cask and yank the shive
Drink 'em up 'til closing time

Keep your wine it's not for me
Keep your rum I have no need
For beer is a welcome sight to see

Beer is great, beer is swell
I'd throw my mother in a wishing well
So I could wish for one pint more
Craft the drink I do adore

Cider, gin, and vodka no
Whiskey's good but don't add coke
Ale is a wondrous masterstroke

The world has declined but tech couldn't stein
And flopped to the flutes and the shots
Our fathers would cry and exclaim, "Oh god, why!?"
We abandoned the Reinheitsgebot

When the sky, it turns black and the land, it is parched
And your life becomes weathered and dull
We march to the drum of the cask but in ton
For there's plenty of glasses to fill

'Cause!
Beer is grand, beer is ace
Watch me stick one in my face
Goblet, glass, or plastic cup
I don't really give a

Beer is good, if I may
Help your hand up smelt away
Mark my words and mark them well
Beer is great, yes, beer is swell
