[Chorus]
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
[Verse 1]
(BEER!)
Now if you’re like most of us raised around here
Then you must have started your drinking with beer
We learned how to flirt with the lads at the bar
And to sing out a toast for all friends near and far!
[Chorus]
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
[Verse 2]
(CIDER!)
When burning desire has got you quite vexed
When need for a partner has left you perplexed
Just grab a fine cider and ring your own bell
The use of your own hand will satisfy well!
[Chorus]
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
[Verse 3]
(RUM!)
The young men all eager to do what they should
If they could just do more than just only look good
Let rum’s sweet elixir distract from your plight
At least a good bottle might last through the night!
[Chorus]
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
[Verse 4]
(VODKA!)
Now vodka’s the best thing for mending a heart
Just open a bottle and toast your new start
If a second reminds you of his shortcomings
Then open a third one and BURN ALL HIS THINGS!
[Chorus]
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
{Verse 5]
(WHISKEY!)
Now whiskey’s the best choice for sending off kin
For toasting their stories of virtue and sin
We’ll drink, laugh and weep ‘til we’re all good and tight
And if it’s a good wake it’ll end in a fight!
[Chorus]
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
[Verse 6]
(ABSINTHE!)
With absinthe the party did take a sharp turn
You fought with green fairies, woke up in a fern
But all will be well if you clean up the mess
Just get rid of the corpse in the Tinkerbell dress!
[Chorus]
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
(LAST CALL!)
[Chorus]
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
When life gives you comedy or tragedy
We’ll tap another vat
Raise your voice with mine and say
“I’ll drink to that!”
[Verse 1]

Now if you’re like most of us raised around here
