Liquid Courage

(álbum: B Is for Beer: The Musical - 2018)

[College guy:]
I am twenty-five, single, anti-social
And just a touch neurotic when it comes to meeting women
I don't know what to do
Tonight I'm determined to have a conversation
I'm so sick of all this loneliness and sexual frustration
I'm gonna talk to her now

But I don't know how
Why am I so full of fear?
I guess I'll have another beer

Gimme some of that liquid courage
If I'm gonna chase her, gotta get a little braver
Some liquid courage
Add a little zip, put some swagger in my step
Some liquid courage
Coming out swinging, everybody hear me singing now
I'm the one to beat, I'm the one to beat

[Soldier:]
I am a soldier trained at Fort Benning
I originally joined because they said they'd pay for college
I did not think it through
Tonight I'm expected to rejoin my regiment
And march into the night to fight some arbitrary battle
In this stupid bloody war that will benefit nobody
Except the rich and powerful and maybe not even them
Do I slip off this bar stool and swim across that river
Make a run for it... before they find out I blew?
What am I gonna do?

[Together:]
Gimme some of that liquid courage
If I'm gonna chase it, gotta get a little braver
Some liquid courage
Add a little zip, put some swagger in my step
Some liquid courage
Coming out swinging, everybody hear me singing now
I'm the one to beat, I'm the one to beat
Now I'm the one to beat, I'm the one to beat

(Liquid courage) Struggling with my decision
(Liquid courage) Lower all my inhibitions
(Liquid courage) Get myself some extra ammunition
(Liquid courage) Fortify my disposition

And if I'm wrong?
And if I'm wrong?
If it's something I should not have done?

Gimme some of that liquid courage
If I'm gonna chase it, gotta get a little braver
Some liquid courage
Add a little zip, put some swagger in my step
Some liquid courage
Coming out swinging, everybody hear me singing now
I'm the one to beat, I'm the one to beat
Now I'm the one to beat, I'm the one to beat
Now I'm the one to beat, I'm the one to beat
One more beer and I'm the one to beat
