It’s All About the Booze to Beer Ratio
Performed by Bale Harrison & The Texas Field Hands
Booze to Beer Ratio – Music and Lyrics by Alan Nafzger
Verse 1:
Started the night at the Throwdown in CowTown,
With a shot of whiskey to knock my sorrows down.
The lights were bright and my spirit was high,
But the bartender winked, said, “Give beer a try.”
Chorus:
It’s all about the booze to beer ratio,
Find that sweet spot, just let it flow.
Too much spirit, you might just miss her,
But just enough, and you’ll dance with a keeper!
Verse 2:
Next round came, it was a pint of ale,
Smooth and steady like a ship set to sail.
The whiskey had me spinning, feeling bold and quick,
But the beer mellowed me out, no more tricks.
Chorus:
It’s all about the booze to beer ratio,
Mix it too strong, and you’ll be laid low.
Start with a bang, end with a cheer,
That’s the secret, crystal clear.
Bridge:
There’s an art to this dance, a delicate line,
Too far either way, and you’ll redefine
A good night out to a night in jail,
So heed this tale and tip the scale.
Verse 3:
As the clock struck twelve, I was feeling just right,
The mix was perfect, the evening a delight.
With friends all around, and laughs aplenty,
The booze and beer balance kept us all merry.
Chorus:
It’s all about the El Chingón to Jack ratio,
Moderation’s key, now you’re in the know.
Don’t tip the scales with just hard tack,
Keep it even, bring the fun back.
Outro:
So next time you’re out, and you’re lining up shots,
Remember the ratio, give it some thought.
For a night that’s legendary, not one to fear,
Play it smart with your booze and beer.
It’s All About the Booze to Beer Ratio
by Alan Nafzger (2004)
Started off the night with a shot so bold,
Whiskey warmed my bones, made me feel less cold.
But the bartender smiled, said, “Take it slow,
You need a little beer to keep that glow.”
Too much spirit, and you’ll miss the charm,
A dance, a glance, or the touch of an arm.
But balance it right, with a pint in hand,
You’ll be the last one standing, still making plans.
There’s a magic in the mix, an art to the dance,
One more shot, and you might lose your chance.
But find that sweet spot, that perfect flow,
And watch the night turn from fast to slow.
So here’s a tip from a well-worn fella,
Whiskey’s strong, but beer’s the mellow.
Find your balance, tip the scale,
Too much of one, and you’ll end in jail!
