Drinking Songs?

Question

I have always enjoyed the idea of drinking songs, & would like to learn one. Preferably a really dirty one. Where can I find lyrics (& possibly a tune)?

Answer 1

You won't go far wrong with anything by the Pogues, eg: "I am go-ing, I am go-ing, any which way the wind may be blow-ing, I am go-ing, I am go-ing, where streams of whiskey are flow-ing".

For dirty ones, look for some stuff by the macc lads, eg:

"Beer, beer, we want more beer,
All the lads are cheering,
'Get the f***ing beer in.' ,
Now!

You've got veins in your bodies,
We've got Boddies in our veins,
We'll outdrink anybody,
Then we'll go and do it all again.

[*Boddies=Boddington's bitter]

or

"Find us a pub, where the ale & tarts are free,
Lock that f***ing door, we'll drink beer to eternity"

They have quite a catalogue, much of which revolves around drinking - a lot of lyrics are available at the link below. Their CD's might be hard to get hold of if you are outside the UK, but I've seen a lot of their stuff on limewire - if just the odd song interests you, I may be able to email you an mp3.
