rocky montenegro : 100 bottles of beer

100 bottles of beer

 

(Chorus)
One hundred bottles of beer on the wall
One hundred bottles of beer
Give me the time and I'll go through them all
100 bottles of beer

Hand me a bottle and run me a tab
There are 99 more on the wall
It's a good thing that you're keeping track of this stuff
'Cause my mind isn't on it at all

Hand me a bottle of beer while you're up
The one that I had didn't last
If I should mention the reason I'm here
Hand me another one fast

(Repeat chorus)

There's only one bottle that I gotta drink
But I haven't discovered it yet
If you ask me what sets it apart from the rest
It's the one that'll let me forget

It isn't the taste of the beer that I like
It's just something to hold in my hand
And the feeling I get when it touches my lips
And the way that she lies on the sand

(Repeat chorus)

It isn't that easy to say why I'm here
It's harder than you might expect
To tell you the truth I don't know anymore
If beer is the cause or affect

So hand me a bottle of beer from the wall
There isn't much more you can do
I don't feel so bad that I'm drinking alone
Maybe she's having one, too
