The Jolly Rogers - Wish You Were Beer lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - Wish You Were Beer lyrics]
When I come home, you are there to greet me
But I'm at sea for six months or more
And though you’re at home
I don't feel so alone
Knowing there's a pub on each shore
In each pub there’s a magic elixir
That's brewed up from barley and hops
Even though you're back there
I pretend that you're here
As I order a beer at each stop!
From Madagascar to Spain
And along the Spanish Main
I drink a pint and think of you my dear
Oh, how I miss ya
I wish that I could kiss ya
Oh, how I wish you were beer!
The first pub I hit was in the port of Nassau
I was lonely and homesick, it's true
So there is no debate
The beer here is just great
I'd rather have my lips wrapped 'round you!
St thomas was our next port of call
And I admit that I was feeling blue!
But those beers raised a smile
'Cause in differing style
I love how they go down just like you!
From Madagascar to Spain
And along the Spanish Main
I drink a pint and think of you my dear
Oh, how I miss ya
I wish that I could kiss ya
Oh, how I wish you were beer!
We made a brief stop in the port of New Haven
Where I asked for the brew I adore
They were all out of mugs
But said "Take these two jugs, "
Beers remind me of you more and more!
I knew this trip had lasted too long
And though beer helps it has been a trial
When I saw that round cask
I swear I nearly asked
If they could leave us alone for a while
From Madagascar to Spain
And along the Spanish Main
I drink a pint and think of you my dear
Oh, how I miss ya
I wish that I could kiss ya
Oh, how I wish you were beer!
Now that I’ve done with all of my adventures
I come about and sail straight for home
I skip right down the dock
And on our door I’ll knock
And I promise nevermore that I'll roam!
Now every day I’m home with my lover
Not the pubs or sea but just here
Don't get me wrong
I missed you when I was gone
But now I really wish you were beer!
From Madagascar to Spain
And along the Spanish Main
I drank a pint and thought of you my dear
Oh, how I missed ya, and that I could kiss ya
Oh, how I wish you were beer!
Oh, how I missed ya, and that I could kiss ya
Oh, how I wish you were beer!
I really, really wish you were beer!
I think I'll go and get me a beer!
But I'm at sea for six months or more
And though you’re at home
I don't feel so alone
Knowing there's a pub on each shore
In each pub there’s a magic elixir
That's brewed up from barley and hops
Even though you're back there
I pretend that you're here
As I order a beer at each stop!
From Madagascar to Spain
And along the Spanish Main
I drink a pint and think of you my dear
Oh, how I miss ya
I wish that I could kiss ya
Oh, how I wish you were beer!
