this time beer and a bottle and a bump
gotta have beer have beer beer and a bump
beer and a bump and a beer and a bump
and a beer and a beer and a beer beer beer
sometimes sometimes I get myself a bag
and a beer and a bump and a beer beer beer
when the kids are asleep I like to have a smoke
and a beer and a bump and a beer beer beer
don’t let the kids see it’s fine for me
if I have a smoke and a beer and a beer beer beer
but don’t let me catch you
coming home drunk
what’s in the bag on the seat between you
better not be beer
beer and a bump
or a bag and a beer and a beer beer beer
you’re a young man now
and a young woman now
and I better not catch you with a beer beer beer
and God forbid you come home pregnant
and don’t come home with your girl knocked up
cause you got into the car with a bag and a beer
and a bump and a bottle and a pipe and a beer
never mind we do it did it back when
never mind how you two got here
don’t come home in trouble or you’re out on the street
with your bag and your bottle and your beer beer beer
if it ever happens I swear I’ll lose my head
have to sit down have myself a beer beer beer
and a dip in the bag and a swig from the bottle
a bottle and a bump and a beer beer beer
