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

F#5 F#5
Oh, I saw you yelling, I just couldn't hear
E5 E5
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]
B5
We never consummated our outside love affair
E5
Too much tar and water, too much hot air
F#5
Oh, what a tragic end to love that was lost
E5 E5*
We would have stood a chance if we met in the frost, but
B5
We fell in love down at pier
E5
You were sunbathing, I was around
F#5
Now I go to beaches with my girlfriend
E5
Now no more love splinters in my rear end
