Well, I don’t know but I used to hear
A man’s as good as his favorite beer
My favorite beer... was Schittz
It was the beer that made Milwaukee famous
When you’re out of Schlitz you’re out of beer
Reach for all the gusto you can find
You only go around once in life
And I had a friend when I was fifteen
with a mustache for a fake ID
One weekend at Atlantic City with his folks
The Boardwalk was shining bright
as we set out that summer night
with a quart of Schlitz between us and our hopes
And he met a girl and they made out
on somebody’s porch while I kept a lookout
learning all I could from across the street
With a headache and a bottle at my feet
And we snuck home as the sun came up
And I didn’t feel great but I didn’t throw up
And either way, I knew that they were right
You only go around once in life
You only go around once in life
I don’t know but I used to hear
A man’s as good as his favorite beer
I don’t really have a favorite now
Used to be there were just a few
You made your choice and then you knew
And somehow that was comforting somehow
Schlitz was the beer that made Milwaukee famous
You had to reach for all the gusto you could grab
Well, I’m still reaching
‘cause they probably were right
You only go around once in life
You only go around once in life
