  • Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug
    Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug

    Gary likes a girl's tight black pants
    Larry knows he doesn't stand a chance
    Carl says hurry up and order it quick
    Dave gets out to chase that chick

    Dennis wonders what's under the hood
    A big chrome tach and it sounds real good
    I go down to the root beer stand
    And drink up all that I can

    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Cold beer, root beer
    Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug

    Brian's still glued to the radio
    Louie's lookin' out the rear window
    Guy's got around to orderin' fries
    But root beer's my best buy

    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Cold beer, root beer
    Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug

    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Give me some root beer (chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chug-a-lug)
    Cold beer, root beer
    Here a mug, there a mug, everybody chug-a-lug

    Root beer, need another mug now
    Root beer, chug-a-lug-a-lug now
    Root beer, need another mug now
    Root beer, chug-a-lug-a-lug now
    Root beer, need another mug now
    Root beer, chug-a-lug-a-lug now Writer/s: Brian Douglas Wilson, Gary Usher, Michael E. Love
