Where have all the good drafts gone
Ones made from the best crops
I could use a Budweiser
But I'll take what you've got
Isn't there a barkeep that serves with lightning speed
When I go to the downtown bar
There's just one thing I need

I need a beer, oh
I've gotta have a good beer that'll taste just right
It can't be too strong
And it can't be too flat
And it's gotta be fresh from on site
I need a beer, oh
I'll try a brand name beer like the ones advertised
Budweiser is pure
Sam Adams is good
And Fosters is larger than life, larger than life

After all of the bars close
In my delusional mind I see
A brewery just beyond my reach
An abandoned beer truck for me
Racing there to chunder and dropping to my feet
Was a cop's car, now he's putting me in his backseat

I need a lawyer
I wanna good one who can get me off
He can't make me seem wrong
Or expensive, at that
And I do not want one they appoint
I'll tell the judge, oh
Next time I'll call the closest taxi in sight
But you know after court
Guess what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna go partying tonight

I need a beer, oh
I've gotta have a good beer that'll taste just right
It can't be too strong
And it can't be too flat
And it's gotta be fresh from on site
I need a beer, oh
I'll try a brand name beer like the ones advertised
Budweiser is pure
Sam Adams is good
And Fosters is larger than life, larger than life
