A few years back Dr. Demento had a two-part show featuring songs about
alcohol, and two of them come readily to mind:

---

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

(chorus)
I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow
(makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
(he likes beer)

My wife often frowns when we’re out on the town
And I’m wearing a suit and a tie
She’s sipping vermouth and she thinks I’m uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by

(chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow
(makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in
gear
Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I love
beer
(yes, he likes beer)

In heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And when we're gone from here
Well all our friends will be drinking all the beer
