The Lyrics
Paced to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpHFyYrNuuM
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean roars like a thousand voices -
None as loud as your bitching
I try to shut it out
Pretend I found a genii
I rub the lamp and give an order, baby
I wish you were beer
I need me some cheer
Just face it my dear
I wish you were beer
I stick my head down in the sand
You're still complaining about the concierge
Who dropped your suitcase
You never let it go
I fantasize you are transfigured
And at that moment I am happy, happy
I wish you were beer
Yes I am sincere
And I would revere
You as a beer
The world is full of people who need to moan and wail
Turn 'em into Shiner Bock
And we’ll all be rockin' round the clock, so
I wish you were beer
I'll make it clear
Each day of the year
Each time you come near
Please just disappear
Turn into beer
The ocean roars like a thousand voices -
None as loud as your bitching
I try to shut it out
Pretend I found a genii
I rub the lamp and give an order, baby
I wish you were beer
I need me some cheer
Just face it my dear
I wish you were beer
I stick my head down in the sand
You're still complaining about the concierge
Who dropped your suitcase
You never let it go
I fantasize you are transfigured
And at that moment I am happy, happy
I wish you were beer
Yes I am sincere
And I would revere
You as a beer
The world is full of people who need to moan and wail
Turn 'em into Shiner Bock
And we’ll all be rockin' round the clock, so
I wish you were beer
I'll make it clear
Each day of the year
Each time you come near
Please just disappear
Turn into beer

I will leave an in depth comment when I vote on this in the Incubus Round, BUT great job!
Ahhh... Wouldn't it be nice if all of the annoying people in this world became an alcholic beverage? Just think... Our president could be a keg. Then he'd actually be useful, and perhaps even more intellegent.
A song after my own heart =)
he he
And to think of all that time the alchemists wasted trying to turn things into gold... If Tyra Banks were turned into beer, would it be a Negra Modela? 555
Beer! Where? Everywhere! For whatever ales you, beer is the answer. 555
those lamps never work, Rex - I actually rubbed a hole right through mine, and she still hasn't turned into Angelina - but if you cinnot turn her into beer, maybe Heine cin - 555
(Artistry) "Would you choose water over wine?": neither, give me a beer! Thanks for chosing Shiner Bock instead of Rolling Rock! Good writing, Rex.
This should be a t-shirt.
(Artistry) Damn, this song didn't give you much to work with...very, very random for a Rex U. parody. i get the feeling you had a hard time trying to get this one done. This round SUCKS! :)
(Artistry) When a girl screws you up so bad, you want her to become beer...that's just sad. Awesome as always, Rex!
(Artistry) Very good for what you have to work with. . .one thing I've noticed about all these is with the notable exception of Drive, all the songs are kinda dragging. . .anyhow, I think that the water over wine (being a line from Drive) was a clever inclusion.
I am aware that "I Wish You Were a Beer" is a real song.
@Tommy: interesting....I googled "I Wish You Were a Beer" and discovered that The Cycle Sluts released the song in 2009. My parody is from 2007, so maybe I inspired them?
