In some of my songs I have casually mentioned 
 
G                             D 
The fact that I like to drink beer 
 
     G                  C            G 
But this little song is more to the point 
 
   D 
so roll out the barrel and lend me your ear 

        C                             G 
I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow 
 
        C       D 
I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow 
 
 
(makes him feel mellow) 
 
G 
Whiskeys too rough 
 
    C              G 
Champaign cost too much 
 
                       C 
vodka puts my mouth in gear 
 
                          G 
This little refrain should help me explain 
 
     D                     G 
as a matter of fact I like beer 
 
 
 
 
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town 
 
I'm wearing a suit and a tie 
 
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth 
 
When I yell when the waiter walks by 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene 
 
and I went to a place so sublime 
 
the water was clear and it tasted like beer 
 
then they turned it all into wine  (ahhhh) 
 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Yes he likes beer) 
 
 
Have a good one................. Jeff Glenz
