I'm quite the party guy.
Friday nights they come too slow.
And the hotties come so pretty
To mi casa down the road
I love beer more than my mom
But oh boy this gets me down
I'm never surprised to see that
In this podunk college town
That I'm drinkin' the High Life again
Skunky beer in belly here much to my own chagrin.
I'll be drinkin' the High Life again
Wish I had a Newcastle, Blue Moon, or Heineken.
And I'll dance and let the cute girls see
What a white boy I can be.
And yeah I'll be a sight to see
Drinkin' the Hiiiiiiigh Liiiife again.
Sometimes I will drink the beast.
Bellies rumble at the thought.
So thank God my fridge is stocked up
With some good stuff that I bought.
I open up the fridge
The Bud's gone without a trace!
And I begin to re-a-lize
As a tear falls down my face
That I'm drinkin' the High Life again
Naked in my bean bag chair; it's Tuesday night at ten.
I'll be drinkin' the High Life again
Wish I had a Newcastle, Blue Moon, or Heineken.
And I'll lounge in my room fancy free
And have no care where'eer I pee.
Hope my girlfriend don't see me
Drinkin' the Hiiiiiiigh Liiiife again.
High Life!
Ewww High Life!
Miller High Life again!
That I'm drinkin' the High Life again
PBR, Stones, Schlitz and Stroh's, I need some medicine.
I'll be drinkin' the High Life again
Wish I had a Newcastle, Blue Moon, or Heineken.
And I'll pass out knowing there will be
A hangover sans remedy
This is such a travesty
Drinkin' the Hiiiiiiigh Liiiife again.
Ewwwwww High Life
Drinkin' the High Life
Mmmmm
Liver attack.

Maybe we're alcoholics... but fun parody writing ones!

I love beer more than my mum loves beer too! (no, I get it;-)) - nice work Mike - ah, those were the days - only my liver is happy they're over - 555
Yep, I remember those early drinking days - I didn't even get High Life - it was Olympia, which had on the can "It's The Water", to which I replied "It IS Water". What does one expect for 3$ a 12 pack (or maybe that was case price)?
I thought this song was by Huey Lewis And The News.
Amazing idea and parody
You have a problem with the High Life? That's stupid, stop thinking you're better than other people.
Ahhhhhhhh! College days!
(SOTM) Cheers (clink!) 555
Toga! Er... I mean (SOTM) DKTOS, and in fact I had to use a crappy-quality mp3 which I thought would have better quality than it ended up having. I loved your lines and I thought the pacing worked well for a song I was never exposed to until today. and in the line about PBR and Stones, are you talking about Mick & Keith? Speaking of Stones, did you hear that Mick Jagger is shooting a sitcom pilot for ABC? I hope you don't have to be drunk to enjoy it. Great job! 555
(SOTM) Let us have a toast to this parody!
(SOTM) Any parody that mentions Newcastle Brown Ale tops my list! LOL funny!
(SOTM) The irony of drinking parodies is that drinking dumbs down a person, but the parodies (including this one) are very clever.
Wow... A bunch of drunks this April.... 555 (more) Bottles Of Beer On The Wall
(SOTM) Damnitt, not only am I too young to know the OS (can't find it, either), I'm also too young to know the content! Not fair!
SOTM-Nice
(SOTM) Well done, well done. 555
SOTM - "Naked in my bean bag chair"! TMI! TMI! TMI! =8-()
(SOTM) See above!
(SOTM) Where's Guy DiRito? He wrote lots of great beer parodies -- he'd love this!
Cheersh! Hic! 'svergoodmike
(SOTM) see above - and what? no mention of Stella Artois, AGAIN, in an American beer parody - you don't know what you're missing out on, Mike
(SOTM) See above
SOTM...hee! I'm not even a drinker and I enjoyed this one, boys...definitely well written and a fun read. I love how you changed your choruses every time, and "Naked in my bean bag chair; it's Tuesday night at ten" provided me with a visual I'm not sure that I really needed...or that I'll ever be able to get rid of...; )
(SOTM) An interesting spotter's guide for cheap beer(s).
