Lyrics
And it's all for me grog
Me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin in the shanty drinking gin
Now across the western plains I must wander
And it's all for me grog
Me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin in the shanty drinking gin
Now across the western plains I must wander
While I'm a rambler lad and my story is sad
And if ever I reach the lochland I shall wander
For I spent all me brass in the bottom of a glass
Now across the western plains I must wander
And it's all for me grog
Me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin in the shanty drinking gin
Now across the western plains I must wander
And it's all for me grog
Me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin in the shanty drinking gin
Now across the western plains I must wander
It's lonesome away, from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night, where the wild dingoes call
But there's nothing so lonesome, so morbid or drear
Than to stand in a bar, of a pub with no beer
Now the publicans anxious, for the quota to come
There's a faraway look, on the face of the bum
The maids gone all cranky , and the cooks acting queer
What a terrible place, is a pub with no beer
The swaggie rolls in covered in dust and flies
Throws down his swag wiped the sweat from his eyes
But when he is told he says what's this I hear
Travel 50 flamin' miles to a pub with no beer
It's lonesome away, from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night, where the wild dingoes call
But there's nothing so lonesome, so morbid or drear
Than to stand in a bar, of a pub with no beer
I'd love to have a beer with duncan
I'd love to have a beer with dunc
We'd drink in moderation
And we'd never ever ever get rollin' drunk
We'd drink in the town and country
Where the atmosphere is great
I'd love to have a beer with duncan
Cos duncan's me mate
I'd love to have a beer with patrick
Yes I'd love to have a beer with pat
We'd drink in moderation
And agree it doesn't matter if the beer goes flat
We'd drink in the town and country
Where the atmosphere is great
I'd love to have a beer with patrick
Cos patrick's me mate
Now I'd love to have a beer with robert
Yes I'd love to have a beer with bob
We'd drink in moderation
Two more pots and then it's back on the job
We'd drink in the town and country
Where the atmosphere is great
I'd love to have a beer with robert
Cos robert's me mate
Oh I'd love to have a beer with colin
Yes I'd love to have a beer with col
We'd drink in moderation
And agree it doesn't matter if he brings his doll
We'd drink in the town and country
Where the atmosphere is great
I'd love to have a beer with colin
Cos colin's me mate
I'd love to have a beer with duncan
I'd love to have a beer with dunc
We'd drink in moderation
And we'd never ever ever get rollin' drunk
We'd drink in the town and country
Where the atmosphere is great
I'd love to have a beer with duncan
Cos duncan's me mate
I'd love to have a beer with duncan
Cos duncan's me mate
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Is the greeting we like to hear
I bet when you met your mate today
These were the first words he heard you say
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Have a beer
(have a beer)
It's so friendly and full of cheer
That's what adam said to eve the day they hear the serpent hiss
And anthony told cleopatra after every kiss
When captain cook stepped ashore someone shouted this
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Have a beer
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Is the greeting we like to hear
I bet when you met your mate today
These were the first words he heard you say
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Have a beer
(have a beer)
It's so friendly and full of cheer
That's what romeo told juliet romantically one day
It's true my girl he shouted as they carried him away
If you ever meet an aussie you can bet you'll life he'll say
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Have a beer
(have a beer)
Have a beer
(have a beer)
