Beer For Breakfast Lyrics

All I wanna do is drink beer for breakfast
All I wanna eat is them BBQ chips
All I want is someone just to try to protect us
You can try but you'd never wanna try to defend us

Hey, well I'm broke
But I'm gonna pay for some rum

All I wanna do is stand in this lie
All I wanna pick is your nose honey, hi
Sweet little corner, know you gotta be... aha!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Honey, well I'm broke
But I'm gonna pay from some rum

Honey, where I'm from
Halle-fuckin-lujah
Where I'm from...

Baby boy's fine...
Baby boy's drunk...
Baby boy's a ... bah bah bah

All I wanna do is drink beer for breakfast

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The "Halle-fucking-lujah, I'm a bum" line is probably inspired by the depression era song "Hallelujah I'm a Bum": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uKbIkYGsIg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah,_I%27m_a_Bum

It says "Honey where I'm from/Mama's baby boy's a bum" at the chorus. And raspberryrush's comment's right too.
