The Beer Song

[00:18.71] Now there are those who like to think
[00:20.76] We'd be best without the drink
[00:22.99] No beer, ale, or frothy pints of porter
[00:26.83] So let's hypothesize
[00:28.63] How it would change your lives
[00:30.70] If everyone were only drinkin' water
[00:36.59] There'd be no public houses
[00:38.39] No bars to take your spouses
[00:40.18] No party kegs or cans to celebrate
[00:43.78] No deliriums, or visions
[00:46.01] Regrettable decisions
[00:47.92] No excuses to be coming home too late
[00:51.31] So brothers, sisters, it's time to take a stand
[00:55.19] You can pry my beer from my cold dead hand!
[00:59.08] Raise 'em up, raise 'em up and drink 'em down
[01:02.84] Yeah raise 'em up, raise 'em up and drink 'em down
[01:10.50] There'd be no swingin' from the rafters
[01:12.93] No bleary morning after
[01:14.85] We wouldn't challenge strangers to a fight
[01:18.37] There'd be no singing 'round the fire
[01:20.44] With a drunken boozy choir
[01:22.55] We'd all be home and tucked up for the night
[01:27.81] We'd have no way to wake the dead
[01:29.86] We couldn't wet the baby's head
[01:32.12] Or toast the bachelor or bride-to-be
[01:35.55] We'd have no cheery pint to sup
[01:37.45] Watching Ireland lose the cup
[01:39.73] We'd barely need to go and have a pee
[01:43.04] So brothers, sisters, it's time to take a stand
[01:47.00] You can pry my beer from my cold dead hand!
[01:50.82] Raise 'em up, raise 'em up and drink 'em down (drink 'em down!)
[01:54.67] Yeah raise 'em up, raise 'em up and drink 'em down (drink 'em down!)
[02:19.88] For every barmaid, every waiter
[02:21.95] Both sides of the equator
[02:24.00] Would be out of work and livin' on the dole
[02:27.41] The wealth of every nation
[02:29.71] Depends upon libations
[02:31.75] Beer it seems is worth its weight in gold
[02:36.99] Well we've assessed the pros and cons
[02:39.04] Talled up both the rights and wrongs
[02:41.13] The hellfire into which we could be hurled
[02:44.74] Now get that pint into your face
[02:46.53] You can save the human race
[02:48.93] You're drinking for the future of the world!
[02:52.36] So brothers, sisters, it's time to take a stand
[02:56.18] You can pry my beer from my cold dead hand!
[03:00.05] Raise 'em up, raise 'em up and drink 'em down (drink 'em down!)
[03:03.77] Yeah raise 'em up, raise 'em up and drink 'em down (drink 'em down!)
[03:07.60] Yeah raise 'em up, raise 'em up and drink 'em down (drink 'em down!)
[03:11.54] Well you can pry my beer from my cold dead hand...
