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

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