Homer Simpson's Beer Song

Beer is Homer Simpson's favourite drink. Enjoy Homer's hymn to beer sung to the music of Bizet's Toreador. Good listening practice while you learn some drinking vocabulary.

Caution: Use carefully and at your own risk!


What is the malted liquor.(beer) What gets you drunker quicker?
What comes in bottles or in cans?(beer) Can't get enough of it,(beer)
How we really love it,(beer) Makes me think I'm a man,(beer)
I can kiss and hug it,(beer) But I'd rather chug it,(beer)
Fill my belly up to here,(beer) I could not refuse a,(beer)
I could really use a,(beer) Beer, beer, beer.

I can't remember how much I have had,
I drank a twelve pack with my dad, BURP!
That's my son the drunken manly stud,
I'm proud to be his bud, Here have some pretzels,
No! I'll call it quits, Those things give me the Schlitz!

Drink with your family, Drink it with your friends,
Drink till you're fat, Stomach distends,
Beer is liquid bread it's good for you,
We like to drink till we spew, EW
Who cares if we get fat, I'll drink to that,
As we sing once more.

What is the malted liquor, What gets you drunker quicker,
What comes in bottles or in cans (beer) Can't get enough of it,(beer)
How we really love it,(beer) Makes me think I'm a man,(beer)
I can kiss and hug it,(beer) But I'd rather chug it,(beer)
Fill my belly up to here,(beer) Golly I adore it,(beer)
Come on dammit pour it, Do it for me,
Brew it for me, Feed it to me, Speed it to me.(beer)

The most wonderful drink in the world. Hooray!!!

Welcome to the new course!

September's here again! I hope you had a great holiday and feel ready to start the new course.

Classes will be starting in just a few weeks. In the meantime, do take some time to brush up your English. For the language learner, daily practice is the best key to rapid improvement!

The goal of our blog is precisely to help you improve your English through practice and fun, and to help build up a community of English learners. Please visit our blog and feel welcome to send us any comments or suggestions!

Let's retake work with a smile. Here's a funny Dutch commercial showing one of the reasons why learning English is so important!
