Parody Song Title:

"Open Bar"

Parody Written by:

Jeff Reuben

Coasters and barstools, light rum or dark
Bottles of champagne and wine
Sadly you whisper, "I need a beer,
But I haven't even...a dime."

The bartender smiles,
Looks up with a start
And places a brew by my side

So now I come to you, on open bar!
Liquor in sight, and nothing to pay
Now, beer in hand, an open bar
Hoping to see, that the wedding will be...open bar

Wedding reception, garters and rice
Raising our glasses to toast
Wanting a cold brew, wanting a beer!
I don't know how I'll get home

But if they have planned right--
A keg at each table
I think I can stay...

So now I come to you, an open bar
Beast or Beast Light, and tipping's okay
Now beer in hand, at open bar
Hoping to see, that the wedding will be...open bar

(ABC) Especially funny thinking of the original song's lead vocalist's plaintive wail of "...with ooooooooopen aaaaarms!! " being switched to "open bar" !

Pretty good, although I can barely remember how the song itself goes, still good.
