Lyrics
It's sure good to be here with you all tonight
And on behalf of the staff, might I add you look right in this light
I'll sing you some songs that you've probably already heard
If I pick the right ones, you might even know most of the words
I'm not what you'd call young, I've been doing this thing for a while
And this glorious mountain to some might resemble a pile
But I humbly stand here before you in control of my fate
And, did you notice I started on time, I try not to be late
So I'll play the part, and I'll give it all that I've got
I owe that to you, myself, the bartenders, the whole lot
I realize this may be something you don't want to hear
But I'm a lone man for hire, and after all I'm just here to sell beer
This one time a girl was so angry I thought she would spit
She kept asking to hear this one song that was her favorite
I politely responded, said, "yes, dear, I have heard of it"
"But I'd have to drink pitchers of bleach after singing that shit"
So I'll play the part, and I'll give it all that I've got
I owe that to you, my agent, who wants another shot
I realize this may be something you don't want to hear
But I'm a lone man for hire, and after all I'm just here to sell beer
Good evening, my friends, can I interest you all in a beer
