beer is a potion of radical charm
use it with care and it will save you from harm
it can be a solution, it can be a good friend
a loyal companion that stays to the end
here is a warning: sober isn't fun
you're a gutless little nothing til you get at least one
pint of beer in your belly and a head full of ideas
the beer anchors down your fears


drink beer, and you'll be alright
drink beer, every day and every night
when the world is giving you a heavy old time
drink as much as you can and you'll be fine


kids! stay in school, get a decent education
you'll need a steady job to pay for lubrication
everybody searching for a reason to continue
well the world is less rubbish with a cold beer in you
so if you're down and you're heading for a fall
it is better to have died of drink than never drunk at all
lean on beer, when you're not strong
we all need some beer to lean on.


drink beer, and you'll be alright
drink beer, every day and every night
when the world is giving you a heavy old time
drink as much as you can and you'll be fine
drink beer, and you'll be ok
drink beer, every night and every day...


(Tim's rap)
in the wilderness with fear in my soul
I had empties all around me but I'm taking control
I went to town, got my money from the bank
then I went down to the wetherspoon's...
and drank.


drink beer, and you'll be alright
drink beer, every day and every night
when the world is giving you a heavy old time
drink as much as you can and you'll be fine

drink beer, and you'll be ok
drink beer, every night and every day
keep your eyes on the prize at the bottom of the glass
and drink it down fast, drink it down fast

drink beer, and you'll be alright
drink beer, every day and every night
when the world is giving you a heavy old time
drink as much as you can and you'll be fine
