VERSE 1

Just last evening it came to me,

While sanerrin' 'round the cor-ner store.

They had my favorite beer priced at just three thirty-three. [$3.33]

And that was buy one - get one more.

VERSE 2

Canned cervesa can't be out done.

Glass containers often are too clear.

Surely twenty-five cold ounces in aluminum,

Is perfect when it comes to beer.

CHORUS

When it's time for my birthday,

A twenty-five will do (just) fine.

When it's time for my birthday,

A twenty-five will do (just) fine.

A twelve’s too little,

And a forty's too high.

Meeting in the middle,

Is the only way to fly.

When it's time for my birthday,

A twenty-five will do (just) fine.

A Bud Ice can beer containing 25 ounces of premium lager beer.

VERSE 3

While it's tempting to give a tie,

Or another shiny socket wrench.

Know that twenty-four by seven by three sixty-five,

I have a mighty thirst to quench.

CHORUS

When it's time for my birthday,

A twenty-five will do (just) fine.

When it's time for my birthday,

A twenty-five will do (just) fine.

A twelve’s too little,

And a forty's too high.

Meeting in the middle,

Is the only way to fly.

When it's time for my birthday,

A twenty-five will do (just) fine.

The End

Here's a 25 oz can of Natty Daddy by the Anheiser Busch Brewery.
