I Drink Beer
[Prelude]
The man who was usually careful
Met the man who just didn't care
They went to the house
Of the man or a mouse
And met the mailman there
And the man with a plan
And the man on a mission
And the man who could do no wrong
They all stood around in the kitchen
And sang the following song

[Verse 1]
I drink beer to improve my mind
End all war, help mankind
Through these dark and trying times

[Chorus]
Hey, batter-batter-batter
Hey, batter, hey
Swing, batter, swing, hey
Swing away
Swing for the fence and live for the day
Put your life in Jesus' hands
Shut your eyes just as tight as you can
And swing like a man, like a man, like a man
[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I drink beer to boost retail sales
Save those dolphins and save those whales
I drink beer for the revolution

[Chorus]
Hey, batter-batter-batter
Hey, batter, hey
Swing, batter, swing
Swing away
Swing for the fence and live for the day
Put your life in Jesus' hands
Shut your eyes just as tight as you can
And swing like a man, like a man, like a man

[Afterword]
'Cause we are men
Men we shall remain
We shall remain men
Until we go home
We are men
Men we shall remain
We shall remain men
Until we go home
