lyrics

As I stand,
And look out on the battlefield,
I wonder will the honor of Dale be upheld,
Will the new generation,
Will they carry on our past traditions?
Have we learned them well?
The battlefield lay strewn,
With war's delights, horrible sights
To keep one up at night,
Like empty cans of Keystone Light,
Not a PBR in sight,
But carry on we must,
We shall do it for Dale,
Because Dale did it for us...

Ain't no cans of beer round here,
I only find bottles and I find that queer,
Well how is a man supposed to dale,
Ain't no damn way I can reckon it,
Dale that bottle without brekin' it,
And chuggin' that beer just takes to goddam long,
Chuggin' the beer just takes to goddamn long

(solo)

Well... if I don't dale a beer tonight,
I might as well start a rowdy bar fight,
Cause I hate myself and I hate my life,
Pain and pleasure's the same to me,
And that all started when I was three,
Cause my daddy switched the bottle,
And it all went downhill from there, hill from there,
Daddy switched the bottle and it all went downhill from there...
All went downhill from there

Well old Maxwell Gilmore...
He died upon that hill...
Twenty-eight beers gone down the hatch...
And two remained buried until...
I dug up his grave and I got a mean buzz...
Chaka Khan!
