[Verse 1]
...down at the pier
G5
You were sunbathing, I was around
A5
Soon we were sharing a beer
G5 D5
We fell in love at the pier
D5
I'm no sentimental slob, so don't think I'm queer
G5
You got something, baby, and it aren't just my beer
A5
Well, maybe it's the hot pants, maybe the heat
G5 E5*
Or was it the sneakers you kicked off your feet?
[Interlude]
N.C. E5* E5* A5* B5
[Verse 2]
D5
I sat under my umbrella to keep my pearly skin
G5
You tanned your oily body looking like sin
A5
Well, soon I was sweating and I wanted to leave
G5 D5
You slipped into the water from too much grease - ooh
[Interlude]

Oh, I saw you yelling, I just couldn't hear
G5 G5
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]
D5
We never consummated our outside love affair
G5
Too much tar and water, too much hot air
A5
Oh, what a tragic end to love that was lost
G5 E5*
We would have stood a chance if we met in the frost, but
D5
We fell in love down at pier
G5
You were sunbathing, I was around
A5
Now I go to beaches with my girlfriend
G5
Now no more love splinters in my rear end
