This Is a Beer Night

Isn't it interesting how different occasions call for different beverages? Sure, we like boozin' it up any time, and there are plenty of excuses out there for having a few, but you wouldn't be sipping a merlot at the ball game, just as you wouldn't be throwing down shots of tequila at your company dinner.

The choice of what kind of alcohol to drink is a very important one, and it depends on what kind of night you are looking to have. Beer is a party beverage. It has a lot of liquid, and a lot of bubbles. It keeps you moving. Wine, on the other hand, is a romantic beverage. It gives you that warm feeling. Woe to the man who uses the wrong beverage at the wrong time: "Honey, I just want to tell you how much I *BURP* care for you."

So this song is about partying. It's those nights when you just know, This Is a Beer Night. Click below to download, or read on for the lyrics and streaming audio.

Some nights when we sit and watch the moonshine
All we need is eachother and a jug of wine
I just look in your eyes  I can't help but be thinking
This fruit of the vine is all I'll ever be drinking

But sometimes when the Pats are winning,
I forget all the loving songs I been singin'
Put down that glass, let's get out of here
Tonight's a night we're gonna drink some beer.

This is a beer night
Slap me down a Miller Light
A frosty drink to make me feel alright
So if it's really all the same
I'd rather go and watch the game
And make this a beer night.

In the Sahara where it's hot and getting hotter
Would have given up a kingom for a glass of water.
In the land where nothing but the cactus grow
I was dying for a drink of clean H2O.

But some days when I'm down at the oasis
I drink like I don't know what a resting place is
So gimme something cold as the morning dew
Just don't water down my mug of tasty foamy brew

‘Cause this is a beer night
As long as I stay upright
Crank the AC, cool the air just right
And hit the bar and steal a stool
Grab a stick and shoot some pool And make this a beer night.

In the summer when the parrot-heads start to sing
Some margaritas on the rocks could be just the thing
To cool me down quick when the party's filling
To wash down the cheeseburgers I been grilling

But for now mixed drinks are too sweet
I need the classic taste that we get from wheat and
A twelve-step process using hops and malt
And if I drink too much, well it's my own damn fault

This is a beer night Even though it's daylight
Turn up the tunes, let your lights shine bright
So if you know what I'm sayin
Get some Jimmy Buffett playin
And make this a beer night.
