Mike and the Moonpies
The Gold Barstool
[Verse 1]
Tonight they're throwing a party
In honor of a much-deserving fool
For the million times I've sat down on one
They're giving me the gold barstool

[Verse 2]
A railroad man would get a watch and chain
A carpenter, a set of golden tools
But what twenty years of drinking has got me
Is my very own gold barstool

[Chorus]
Engrave my name there on the stand
And with it put, "The World's Greatest Beer-Drinking Man!"
Put it in a window with a light for all to see
Tonight they give the gold barstool to me

[Verse 3]
For the times I neglected my woman
She went out and found some other fool
And they can keep on calling me crazy
But he's got her and I've got this gold barstool

[Chorus]
Engrave my name there on the stand
And with it put, "The World's Greatest Beer-Drinking Man!"
Put it in a window with a light for all to see
Tonight they give the gold barstool to me
Yeah, tonight they gave that gold barstool to me
