Light Beer and
Sailboat Love I can't take credit for the punch line of this little ditty. I first heard it
as a slightly more raunchy pun comparing American beer and making love in a
canoe -- the biting humor of Monty Python. But hey! There's no good reason for
all those paddle-happy canoe jockeys to have all the fun. Besides, there is a
certain amount of physical (and mental) instability involved in having an
amorous encounter in a canoe that makes the V-berth of a 22-foot sloop look
downright luxurious. Thus was conceived "Light Beer and Sailboat
Love." It's dedicated to all male chauvinists and the women who love us. She said: I don't drink rum, it makes me fat -- Got to keep looking svelte and cool. I want to keep this body looking great So I can turn heads by the pool. Don't try plying me with liquor, It's got calories you know. I'll just have a light beer, And then I have to go. I said: Light beer and sailboat love Are both damn close to water. One's less filling, one feels great -- Let's go below and cut the debate -- I ain't thirsty, the beer can wait -- Let's make sailboat love. She said: Don't be crass and don't be crude. I'm not that kind of girl. Sorry, you're just not my type -- A swine before my pearl. This light beer is less filling, So I can have one more. But then I must be going -- Don't think that I'm a whore. I said: Light beer and sailboat love Are both damn close to water. One's less filling, one feels great -- Let's go below and cut the debate -- I ain't thirsty, the beer can wait -- Let's make sailboat love. She said: You know the night is kind of chill -- We might just go below. But don't get any horney thoughts, 'Cause soon I have to go. But all the light beer's in the cooler (You sure do have a stock), And I guess I'll have just one more, Before I hit the dock. I said: Light beer and sailboat love Are both damn close to water. One's less filling, one feels great -- Let's go below and cut the debate -- I ain't thirsty, the beer can wait -- Let's make sailboat love. She said: Boy it must be getting rough, The cabin's in a spin. I should have left some time ago, It's quite a fix I'm in. I sure could use a light beer, It's less filling that's for sure. What's that you say about sailboat love? It's a great hangover cure? I said: Light beer and sailboat love Are both damn close to water. One's less filling, one feels great -- Let's go below and cut the debate -- I ain't thirsty, the beer can wait -- Let's make sailboat love. And so: I was in a bar months later When I saw that gal once more. She was sitting with a sailor At a table by the door. In his hand he held a light beer -- Her voice was strong and clear. Across the noisy room it echoed, And plainly I could hear -- She said: Light beer and sailboat love Are both damn close to water. One's less filling, one feels great -- Let's find your boat and cut the debate -- I ain't thirsty, the beer can wait -- Let's make sailboat love.
