Hey Bartender Lyrics

I went balling the other night
I started drinking and got real tight
I blew each and all my friends
I felt so good I had to blow again

I said hey bartender
Hey man looka here
A draw one, draw two, draw three four glasses of beer

Well I saw a chick sitting on the end
I said baby can't we be friends
You're looking sweet as you can be
Well come on down and drink with me

I said hey bartender
Hey man looks here
A draw one, draw two, draw three four glasses of beer
Elwood!

{ solos over verse and chorus }
{ harmonica solo }

{ guitar solo }

{ groove }
Well we were having so much fun
I didn't know it was half past one
I turned around to have one more
I looked at the clock and it was half past four

Hey bartender
Hey man looka here
A draw one, draw two, draw three four glasses of beer

Well jukebox girlie is everything
All the cats are dancing
I heard somebody called and said
Last round for alcohol

I said hey bartender
Hey bartender
Hey bartender
Hey bartender
Draw one, two, three four glasses of beer

Theme From Rawhide

I went balling the other night
I started drinking and got real tight
I blew each and all my friends
I felt so good I had to blow again

I said hey bartender
Hey man looka here
A draw one, draw two, draw three four glasses of beer

Well I saw a chick sitting on the end
I said baby can't we be friends
You're looking sweet as you can be
Well come on down and drink with me

I said hey bartender
Hey man looks here
A draw one, draw two, draw three four glasses of beer
Elwood!

{ solos over verse and chorus }
{ harmonica solo }

{ guitar solo }

{ groove }
Well we were having so much fun
I didn't know it was half past one
I turned around to have one more
I looked at the clock and it was half past four

Hey bartender
Hey man looka here
A draw one, draw two, draw three four glasses of beer

Well jukebox girlie is everything
All the cats are dancing
I heard somebody called and said
Last round for alcohol

I said hey bartender
Hey bartender
Hey bartender
Hey bartender
Draw one, two, three four glasses of beer

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.
