Beer
[Verse 1:]
Heading out around the world
You get a different point of view
Travelling is thirsty work
So I stop to have a few
Couldn’t read a single sign or understand a word
But I sure recognise that popping sound I heard

[Chorus:]
Beer, beer
Everybody speaks it here
It rolls right off the tongue
Belly up and get you some
Beer, beer
Everywhere it’s all you hear
Tokyo, and Mexico
Monaco, San Antonio
It always comes out loud and clear
The international language of beer

[Verse 2:]
Went to a football game
Didn’t recognise the ball
Didn’t have no quarterback
No shoulder pads at all
But a guy came through the stands
Yelling out some foreign words
I don’t know what he said
But I know what I heard
[Chorus]

[Outro:
Can anybody beer me?
Here it comes alive
Brand new wine
Putting on the river rhyme
Firm in hand, Afghanistan
Man somebody beer me
Any country new and old
Some like it hot, some like it cold
It doesn’t matter bottle, can
On the sea and the land
Maybe someday soon
You can beer me on the moon
Houston reading loud and clear
International language of beer
Shanghai, China
North Carolina [Carolina]
Phillipines, New Orleans
Far and near and in between
We’re always speaking at least
Right here in Nashville, Tennessee
International language of beer [x3]
