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!
