I've got a beer drinkin' baby, well she drinks both night and day
I've got a beer drinkin' baby, well she drinks both night and day
Well she's never satisfied till she uses all my pay

She drinks beer in the morning, beer in the night,
Come home raises hell, all she wants to do is fight
She's my beer drinking baby, well she drinks beer all the time
She drinks beer so often I'm afraid I'll go stone blind

(solo)

When she walks the streets all night, up and down 7th Avenue
Drinkin' that wine and beer till she don't know what to do
She's my beer drinking baby, well she drinks beer all the time
Well she drinks beer so often I'm afraid I'll lose my mind.
