BEER PARTY ANTHEM
words and music
copyright © 2011 by
Roy Zimmerman and Melanie Harby
On an evening in December back in 1773
A band of Boston patriots did creep
Aboard an English merchant vessel loaded down with tea
And dumped it in the briny deep to steep

Then to celebrate they had a cup of tea
A cup of tea?!  I don’t think so
Each one had ‘emselves a Samuel Adams
Pilsner is a patriotic drink, so...

    Bend an elbow for democracy
    Chug for Change until you’re numb
    Yes we bottle, and Yes We Can
    It’s the Beer Party An...
    Thumb!

Ordinary folk - that’s us!
No Brothers Koch
No backroom dealing

Common Sense on Tap - that’s us!
No corporate crap
And no darjeeling

And after the election of Obama, there arose
A group they called the Party of the Tea
Some taxophobic, xenophobic, homophobic shmoes
Who rode the crazy train to victory

Ultra-con hysteria, that’s their cup of tea
Their cup of tea?!  That’s just psycho
Down a Schlitz or Bud or Bock or Blitz
Or any brew a patriot would like, Oh...

    Bend an elbow for democracy
    Chug for Change until you’re numb
    Grab a pint and a Progressive stand
    Slurp with patriots across this land
    Land on your ass in the grass roots and...

    Bend an elbow for democracy
    If you’re twenty-one at minumum
    Yes we bottle, and Yes We Can
    It’s the Beer Party An...
    Thumb!


"Beer Party Anthem" is on the album YOU'RE GETTING SLEEPY, available as a CD, as a digital download and as part of the Complete Collection.
