I want to ask a question of you if I may
When are you free to spend some time with me today?
Soak up gin, or rum, or beer, and sun
Mercury rising from the glass and up the tube
Lift up a drink to see the glittering ice cubes
Life's too short, to waste, indoors,
on days like these
Sun's such a tease
Come on now, Come with me
It's too hot, For work you see
Out instead, Good times ahead,
In the be-er garden!
You, in the shade, Dew on the curve
What a scene, Allow me to observe
Beckon me, Over to your shrine
You look so damn fine, It's beer garden time.
Make your excuses, make 'em good and get down here
Cancel all your meetings, get that schedule clear
Meet, your friends, bare skin, get bronze
And get a round in for your buddies, new and old
It matters not the poison please just make it cold
Raise, a glass, toast the toa-
sted escapees
Sun's such a tease
The clouds have blocked the sun and darkened up the sky
The party's over with a shiver and a sigh
Down, the hatch, and off, we crawl
Into a grey and dreary city, looks like rain
Wond'rin when we'll bask in sunshine once again
Make the most, of all, the op-
portunities
Ahh, the memories!
Here comes the sun!
Beer garden time!
