“Beer” is one of Reel Big Fish’s biggest hits, and it remains a favorite among fans and talk-radio bumper music listeners alike.
As one of the band’s oldest songs (and one of the most beloved), Aaron Barrett often jokes at live shows about how tired he is of playing the song. On the live album, Aa...
[Verse 1]
She called me late last night, to say she loved me so
It didn't matter anymore
I say she never cared
And that she never will
I'd do it all again
I guess I'll have to wait until then
[Chorus]
And if I get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
And if you're drinkin' well, you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
And if I get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
She said
It's okay boy cause you know
We'll be good friends and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer
I think I'll have myself a beer
Woooooooooooh
Woooooooooooh
Woooooooooooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, huh, huh
Uh, huh, huh

Aaron Barrett said in a 2015 Teamrock.com interview:
“At the time of writing this song our horn players had just quit, and I’d been listening to a lot of Sublime, which is why there’s no horn lines and just a guitar riff. Our bass player and drummer at the time were really into drinking beer as wel...
