I'll Have A Beer

As a boy I led a sheltered life

The son of a farmer and his wife

I met a friend one day in town

Who offered to buy me a round

So we found a pub they call the Drum and Pipe

Barkeep, he asked what will it be

So I said I think I'll have a tea

My friend said that will never do

Told me that I should have a brew

You wouldn't believe the effect it's had on me

Now at every tavern, bar, and pub I go into

I know just exactly what I should do

I say in a voice that all can hear

Sir I think that I will have a beer

Yes, sir I think that I will have a beer

Since then I have traveled far and wide

I have been all over the countryside

One day, while out, on a walk

I met a Scot who liked to talk

And he told me of a drink I've never tried

Now at every tavern, bar, and pub I go into

I know just exactly what I should do

I say in a voice that all can hear

Sir I think I'll have a scotch and beer

Yes, sir I think I'll have a scotch and beer

Spent a Summer on a schooner out at sea

And one old sailor took a shine to me

He warned me of the awful food

But shared a drink he said was good

I'm gonna have to say that I agree

Now at every tavern, bar, and pub I go into

I know just exactly what I should do

I say in a voice that all can hear

Sir I think I'll have rum, scotch, and beer

Yes, sir I think I'll have rum, scotch, and beer

So when I made it back home again

I met up with a dear, old friend

He took me with him too his pub

Which seemed to be a fancy pub

And taught me about the drink of gentlemen

Now at every tavern, bar, and pub I go into

I know just exactly what I should do

I say in a voice that all can hear

Sir I'll have gin, rum, scotch, and beer

Yes, sir I'll have gin, rum, scotch, and beer

I then met a nice, Irish lad

Who said that he thought it was sad

While I've tried all the rest

He said that I had missed the best

And he offered me the last of what he had

Now at every tavern, bar, and pub I go into

I know just exactly what I should do

I say in a voice that all can hear

I'll have whiskey, gin, rum, scotch, and beer

Yes, I'll have whiskey, gin, rum, scotch, and beer

I''ll have whiskey, gin, rum, scotch and beer

I'll have whiskey, gin, rum, scotch and beer

Whiskey

Gin, rum

Scotch and

A beer
