Rob advises us that a ‘D’ is a dozen long neck beers…
(Loading out at the Hardware Club)
They didn’t like the way I lugged it
Didn’t like the way I groaned
Didn’t like the way I shook it all up
Didn’t like the way it foamed
Didn’t like the way I crushed it
Didn’t like the way it moaned
Didn’t like the way I threw it all up
Didn’t like the way I foamed
When you’re sinking spit hold it down
When your stomach is stitched hold it down
When you ache and sweat hold it down
When you try to forget
Didn’t like the way I crushed it
Didn’t like the way it moaned
Didn’t like the way I threw it all up
Didn’t like the way I foamed
When you’re sinking spit hold it down
When your stomach is stitched hold it down
When you ache and sweat hold it down
When you try to forget
They didn’t like the way I lugged it
Didn’t like the way I groaned
Didn’t like the way I shook it all up
Didn’t like the way it foamed
Didn’t like the way I crushed it
Didn’t like the way it moaned
Didn’t like the way I threw it all up
Didn’t like the way I foamed
When you’re sinking spit hold it down
When your stomach is stitched hold it down
When you ache and sweat hold it down
When you try to forget, hold it down
When you ache and sweat, when you try to forget
In the morning you will see
You’ve been holding down a D
Holding down a D
