About the Song

Who among us has not had cause to proclaim a proclivity for a beverage? “I Like Beer!” proffers a judicious predilection for a frothy concoction of fermented malt, offered into evidence with a bitter taste derived from the dried pointy flowers of a coiled perennial with heart-shaped leaves. The defense rests.

I Like Beer!

Words and Music by Thomas Gannett

Baby, can’t you hear what I am am trying to say?

I don’t know why you treat me this way.

You hurt my feelings when you say those things—

But let me just say this:

I like beer!

Is that clear?

I like beer!

Gimme some beer!

Baby, how much more can you ask of me,

when I deport myself with such dignity?

If I seem self righteous, that’s just how I roll—

But let me just say this:

I like beer!

Is that clear?

Do you like beer?

Gimme some beer!

I like beer!

Is that clear?

You have nothing to fear?

Gimme some beer!
