Show me the way to go home,

I'm tired and I want to go to bed!

I had a little drink about an hour ago

And it's gone right to my head

No matter where I roam,

On land or sea or foam,

You can always hear me singing this song,

Show me the way to go home.

5. To Anacreon in Heaven

You already know the tune. Yes, you do.

That's because Francis Scott Key borrowed it for a composition of his which we know as...

...our National Anthem.

You just can't make this stuff up.

[Aristus]

18. Here are the lyrics:

C'mon, sing along, everybody! You know the tune!

To Anacreon in heaven where he sat in full glee,
A few sons of harmony sent a petition,
That he their inspirer and patron would be,
When this answer arrived from the jolly old Grecian:
Voice, fiddle aud flute, no longer be mute,
I'll lend you my name and inspire you to boot!
And besides I'll instruct you like me to entwine
The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine.

The news through Olympus immediately flew,
When old Thunder pretended to give himself airs,
If these mortals are suffered their scheme to pursue,
The devil a goddess will stay above stairs,
Hark! already they cry, in transports of joy,
A fig for Parnassus, to Rowley's we'll fly,
And there my good fellows, we'll learn to entwine
The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine.

The yellow-haired god, and his nine fusty maids,
To the hill of old Lud will incontinent flee,
Idalia will boast but of tenantless shades,
And the biforked hill a mere desert will be,
My thunder, no fear on't, will soon do its errand,
And, damn me I'll swinge the ringleaders, I warrant
I'll trim the young dogs, for thus daring to twine
The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.

Apollo rose up and said, "Prythee ne'er quarrel,
Good king of the gods, with my votaries below
Your thunder is useless - then showing his laurel,
Cried, Sic evitabile fulmen, you know!
Then over each head my laurels I'll spread,
So my sons from your crackers no mischief shall dread
Whilst snug in their club-room, they jovially twine
The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine.

16. I missed the second half of a Super Bowl because I was listening to George Thorogood

and drinking Bourbon, Scotch and Budweiser beer! Cocaine Blues is another good one from him.

8. Jerry Jeff Walker!!!!! (really anything of his, but up against the wall)

Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother
by Walker Jerry Jeff
album:

He was born in Oklahoma,
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
Cause his mother made him what he is.

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Sure does like his Falstaff beer,
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Well,
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for REDNECK.

Up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

He's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

9. Yeats!

A Drinking Song

WINE comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth, 5
I look at you, and I sigh.

11. Under the Scotsman's kilt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2ouuPyYVDw




A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair

And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share

He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet

Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street...



There's also an extra verse that isn't in this version. :) It's worth finding the lyrics though.

12. To Anacreon in Heaven

http://www.contemplator.com/america/anacreon.html

I once encountered a rumor in these parts that the drinking game, proper for the tune, was to raise ones glass on the high notes and lower it on the low notes -- and, of course, every mistake is punished by another swig
