Lyrics
Talk of your famous men
Boast of the foremost ten
Then take a gander at the list selected
And you find a man who’s been neglected
He has no L. L. D.
He owns no swell degree
He’s just an ordinary plain bartender
So salute him with me
Chorus
Stand up and take a bow, bartender
You’ve earned that bow and how! bartender
Hearin’ ev’rybody’s troubles
Tellin’ em they’re only bubbles
Why not drown ’em now?
Hail fellow and well met, bartender
Fourth voice in our quartette, bartender
Bottoms up refill your glasses
Here’s a toast from all the masses
Here’s to a friend that’s a friend
Bartender man
