[Verse 1]
...down at the pier
F5
You were sunbathing, I was around
G5
Soon we were sharing a beer
F5 C5
We fell in love at the pier
C5
I'm no sentimental slob, so don't think I'm queer
F5
You got something, baby, and it aren't just my beer
G5
Well, maybe it's the hot pants, maybe the heat
F5 E5*
Or was it the sneakers you kicked off your feet?
[Interlude]
N.C. E5* E5* G5* B5
[Verse 2]
C5
I sat under my umbrella to keep my pearly skin
F5
You tanned your oily body looking like sin
G5
Well, soon I was sweating and I wanted to leave
F5 C5
You slipped into the water from too much grease - ooh
[Interlude]

Oh, I saw you yelling, I just couldn't hear
F5 F5
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]
C5
We never consummated our outside love affair
F5
Too much tar and water, too much hot air
G5
Oh, what a tragic end to love that was lost
F5 E5*
We would have stood a chance if we met in the frost, but
C5
We fell in love down at pier
F5
You were sunbathing, I was around
G5
Now I go to beaches with my girlfriend
F5
Now no more love splinters in my rear end
