I like beer.

[Richardo]

...by Tom T. Hall.

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

(chorus)
I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
(he likes beer)

My wife often frowns when we’re out on the town
And I’m wearing a suit and a tie
She’s sipping vermouth and she thinks I’m uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by

(chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I love beer
(yes, he likes beer)

4. I like Tom T. Hall.

[Richard Steele]

5. Holy crap- Tom T. Hall!!!!

There's a name I haven't heard in decades!
My little sister practically wore out Dad's 8-track of "Songs of Fox Hollow";
I betcha I could sing along to it word-for-word if I ever heard it again.

I still have my Dad's reel-to-reel tapes somewhere-
lotta Tom T Hall on those.

6. I have never forgotten the words to Sneaky Snake.

[Richard Steele]

9. "I don't like old Sneaky-Snake

He laughs too much, you see...
When he goes wigglin' through the grass,
it tickles his underneath."

[Left Is Write]

10. Sneaky Snake drinks root beer, and he just makes me sick...

when he is not dancing, he looks just like a stick.

He doesn't have any arms or legs
You cannot see his ears
And while we are not looking
He's stealing all of our beers!


I love that song as a child, and what's even better is that my children love it now. :)

7. I doubt that Tom T likes the same kinda beer that I do.
