[Verse 1]
...down at the pier
G#5
You were sunbathing, I was around
A#5
Soon we were sharing a beer
G#5 D#5
We fell in love at the pier
D#5
I'm no sentimental slob, so don't think I'm queer
G#5
You got something, baby, and it aren't just my beer
A#5
Well, maybe it's the hot pants, maybe the heat
G#5 E5*
Or was it the sneakers you kicked off your feet?
[Interlude]
N.C. E5* E5* A#5* B5
[Verse 2]
D#5
I sat under my umbrella to keep my pearly skin
G#5
You tanned your oily body looking like sin
A#5
Well, soon I was sweating and I wanted to leave
G#5 D#5
You slipped into the water from too much grease - ooh
[Interlude]

Oh, I saw you yelling, I just couldn't hear
G#5 G#5
So I screamed back at you, "Honey, keep the beer" - ooh

(keep the beer, keep the beer, keep the beer) (We ne-ver)
Woooh!
[Verse 3]
D#5
We never consummated our outside love affair
G#5
Too much tar and water, too much hot air
A#5
Oh, what a tragic end to love that was lost
G#5 E5*
We would have stood a chance if we met in the frost, but
D#5
We fell in love down at pier
G#5
You were sunbathing, I was around
A#5
Now I go to beaches with my girlfriend
G#5
Now no more love splinters in my rear end
