Song information
From 2010 I think. Stem files lost in the Great Mac Crash of 2011. Thankfully the mix is decent enough. Only needed some remastering, which I did for this posting.

My reason for writing this song was to poke fun at excessive drinking. With St. Patrick’s Day just ahead, posting this seems apropos.

Please note that I’ve only been to a bar twice in my entire life, each time to see and support a certain celtic-rock band; so—lacking personal experience to draw on—I cheated and Google’d “bar-room one liners.” I wrote a bunch of them down, and then arranged them into the lyrics for this song. (There’s more than one way to skin a cat!)

My favorite line herein is a quote from none other than my good friend Plato:

“He was a wise man who invented beer.”

I concur! I DO drink, albeit moderately. I just have never have been interested in bars or in bar culture. I’ve never even watched a single episode of CHEERS… (BLASPHEMY… I hear someone cry!) However, if you ever happen to be a guest in my home on Yahtzee night, WATCH OUT!

Sitting behind the live drum kit on this one is the “nimble and quick” Andy Mackle.

Please enjoy! (But moderately…)

;-)

Lyrics
A FEW TOO MANY

I
What are YOU lookin’ at man?
I’m as jober as a sudge!
I never met a pub I did not like…

Bartender… Give me one for the ditch!
I drink, therefore I am, and it’s alright.

“I feel sorry for the people that don’t drink,”
I heard old Frankie say;
“…when they get up in the morning,
that’s as good as they’ll feel all day!”

II
He was a wise man who invented beer.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder.
Lead me not into temptation,
I can find the way myself!
Uh, I’ll have the same thing as the gentleman
on the floor.

Yeah!

Rock and roll…

III
All hope abandon, ye who enter here!
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…
Come the morning,
all my teeth will be wearing sweaters.
I drink, therefore I am,
and that’s for sure.

Hah!

IV
“Relax! Don’t worry! have a home brew!”
—says Charlie Papazian.
To some it’s a six pack, to me a support group;
salvation in a can!

A Barrel of malt… a bushel of hops…
Ya’ stir it around with a stick!
—the kind of lubrication,
to make your engine tick!

Yeah… another beer please…

This is great how you put all these lyrics together into one song. And I write about things that don't pertain to me as well. So I can relate! Great job.

Love that beat, dirty guitar riff and vocal style.  I can imagine Frank Zappa singing this 😎

Al,
Well... I can't say I ever drank like a fish, but I did hit it rather heavily for more than a decade. I've slowed down a lot. Tonight is Yahtzee night and the first beers I've had in three and a half weeks. Should make Pink Floyd sound a little better!
Glad you liked the tune brother!
