Slammin’ the Brew

By BLADE

Johnson & Wales College, 1983

Remember in college,

All the courses you took?

You always went out drinkin’

So you closed your book

Down to the Tap,

With you and your crew,

Just a laughin and a jokin',

SLAMMIN THE BREW!

SLAMMIN THE BREW

And it goes down easy

SLAMMIN THE BREW

A few hours and your wheezy

SLAMMIN THE BREW

Its schooner night….

For 40 cents…OUTTA SITE!

Johnson and Wales,

It’s a shitty school,

You bought the book bag

So you could be cool

There’s no parties here,

Can’t even clown

So that means we party! Where?

Up at Brown!

 (CHORUS)

There’s  Alexander’s, the Recess and the Pub,

You’re drunk and get the munchies,

So you order a sub

There’s Edgewood, Bay view, and even Steak-out

By the end of the night

Twenty dollars about!

 (CHORUS)

There’s nothing to do here

Only drink,

As far as classes go

You can’t even think

You go to the Tap,

‘cuz there’s nothing to do

Just goin crazy…

And SLAMMIN THE BREW!

 (CHORUS)

Down to the bus stop

We would stumble

Seein’ bums around

Asking to rumble

It never failed

At least one night..

Someone puked in a cab….

All right!!

 (CHORUS)

You sit in Accounting

Not knowing a thing

Writing this song

So I can sing

Now the class is over

Man, that blew

You wanna relax and go

SLAM SOME BREW!

 (CHORUS)

If you skip 3 times

You’re outta of the class

You can’t stay home

To slouch and crash

Even if you’re sick

Even that don’t count

It’s still a cut

There’s no doubt…you better start

 (CHORUS)

When it snows hard

And there ain’t no school

We have to make it up on weekends,

Damn that’s cruel

We have no say in what we do

So all the time

We just SLAM OUR BREW!

 (CHORUS)

I’m sittin’ in Purchasing 935

Did shots last night

Am I alive?

Woke up this morning

Having to go to class

Pulled out of my pocket

The ALMIGHT SHOT GLASS!!

 (CHORUS)

We wanted to slouch

And go back home

To watch some TV

Back at the dorm

Turn on the tube

To watch Nancy Drew

But instead we decided

To SLAM SOME BREW!

 (CHORUS)

Sitting in Accounting

Flunking every test

No higher than a 40

But IU tried my best

Got screwed in Nemtzow’s class

I don’t know why

He’ll pork me for anything

I think I’ll die..without..

 (CHORUS)

Then there were finals

You were never prepared

Waited the day before

If you even dared

Tomorrow you have 3

Each one harder than the next

Think of the times

You never read the text!..you were..

 (CHORUS)

 It’s Lent time again

What can a student deny?

Tried to give up beer,

But what’s left to buy?

You go to the Pub

And you order a drink

Watching everyone’s beer

And I began to think..about

 (CHORUS)

SLAMMIN THE BREW

It’s super hard!

SLAMMIN THE BREW

What am I, a retard?

SLAMMIN THE BREW

Next year for Lent

I’ll give up somethin’

That won’t make a dent with my….

 (CHORUS)

I’ll end this song,

About my school

As you noticed before

There’s a big Golden Rule

I’m flunking’ out

And have to go to work

The only problem is

I’ll go berserk! without..

 (CHORUS)

Now I end this song

With memories and warmth

All the good times we had

And getting in trouble in the dorms

All the guards were dicks

The R.A.’s were worse

Accepted to J & W? WOW What a CURSE!

You’re gonna…..

 (CHORUS)

SLAMMIN THE BREW

And it went down easy

SLAMMIN THE BREW

A few hours and your wheezy

SLAMMIN THE BREW

All the beer we drank

If we went swimmin’

We would’ve sank if we kept…

 (CHORUS)

SLAMMIN THE BREW

And it goes down easy

SLAMMIN THE BREW

A few hours and your wheezy

SLAMMIN THE BREW

Its schooner night….

For 40 cents…OUTTA SITE!

Repeat and Fade out
