I’ll Have a Beer Lyrics
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 & Fife
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, "you should have a brew"
You wouldn't believe the effect it had on me
Now in 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 havе a beer
Yes sir I think that I will have a beer"
Since thеn 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 of a drink I'd never tried
Now in 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
And shared a drink he said was good
I'm gonna have to say that I agree
Now in 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 within to his club
It seemed to be a fancy pub
And told me of the drink of gentlemen
Now in 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
Why I tried all the rest
He said that I had missed the best
And he offered me the last of what he had
Now in 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
As a boy I led a sheltered life
The son of a farmer and his wife
I met a friend one day in town
