We're Drinkin' PBR

Written by Chris Murphy

Finnegan's Jar's the neighborhood bar that everybody knows 
Finnegan grins and says "Come in; the Guinness freely flows!" 
But Monday morning rain came pouring down from cloudy skies 
I ordered up a Guinness but poor Finnegan sobbed "We're dry!" 

Chorus
We're Drinkin' PBR 
We're Drinkin' PBR 
The barman's out of Guinness Stout 
We're Drinkin' PBR 

What do you do when your favorite brew is nowhere to be found? 
Do you leave your mates and head for the gates of an unfamiliar town? 
Me, I'll stay at Finnegan's Jar, the finest bar around 
Whatever he's got, cold or not, I'm happy to slug it down 

(Chorus)

It's been three days and three long nights without my favorite beer 
I pass the time with friends of mine and everybody's here 
Except for ol' MacMurray who's wife says "No my dear, 
I'll not have my married man out drinkin' anywhere!!!" 

(Chorus) 

Chorus
We're Drinkin' PBR 
We're Drinkin' PBR 
The barman shouts "Who wants a stout instead of PBR?!?!" 

The sound of hope, the angels spoke, I heard the church bells ring 
We'd been without our favorite stout, but Winter's turned to Spring 
Now from our lips the Guinness drips like dew from Gabriel's wing 
But if we should go dry again we have a song to sing 

Chorus (2x)
