[Intro]
I walked into this bar room with my pipes as dry as chalk
I bought myself a beer and then I had to take a walk
While I was gone, some no-good John has drank up my last dime
I never thought a man could stoop to such a petty crime
[Refrain]
Who drank my beer while I was in the rear
Someone took over while I wasn't here
My glass was fall and foamy, now it's deader than Salome
Who drank my beer while I was in the rear
[Chorus]
Don't let me leave this joint with only malice in my heart
If there's a man among you, boys, it's time to act the part
The day is hot, I'm thirsty, and believe mе it's no joke
If I don't wet my tonsils soon, I know I'm gonna choke
[Refrain]
Who drank my beer whilе I was in the rear
Someone took over while I wasn't here
Such cheapness calls for action, I'm demanding satisfaction
Who drank my beer while I was in the rear
[Chorus]
As far back as my memory goes, I been a friend to man
When one was down, I always tried to lend a helpin' hand
Perhaps some gent with due intent will do the same for me
Replace my beer and then I'll still trust and love humanity
[Refrain]
Who drank my beer while I was in the rear
Someone took over while I wasn't here
It's terrible and it's awful, it's not legal, it's unlawful
Who drank my beer while I was in the rear
[Outro]
Who drank my beer while I was in the rear (I was in the rear)
