First Bratwurst of Summer
© 1999 Brady, Rogers, Wallace


Well, the winter nights are long
And the northern winds are strong
The gray days can be quite a bummer
Here's what gets us through
When there's snow on the barbecue
Dreams of the first bratwurst of summer

Now all our friends have called
And our buns are finally thawed
a certain savory smoke is in the air
so, I'm following my nose
Where everybody goes
Toasting to the first bratwurst of summer

First Bratwurst of Summer
Just one thing missing here, Beer! Beer! Beer!
I'm a Squeezer, not a strummer
and I'll play a tune or two
just as soon as you
Grill me up a good one golden brown
Then it's First Brat of Summer goin' down!

Now, Here's what we're gonna do
we'll have a big tadoo
inviting folks from all across the state
we'll feed this giant throng
with a grill a mile long
and a bit of heaven piled on every plate

First Bratwurst of Summer
Hey, there's something missing here, Beer! Beer! Beer!
I guess we're all a little plumper
I was skinny as a splinter
But I ate a bit this winter
Well, What the heck, what's another pound?
First Brat of Summer goin' down!

First Bratwurst of Summer
Still something missing here, Beer! Beer! Beer!
I'm not a Geezer on a bummer
I like playing happy polkas
and tellin' stupid jokas
don't I make you smile when I come around?
Just like the first Brat of summer going down!

First Bratwurst of Summer
Let me hear ya cheer, Beer! Beer! Beer!
Sing out, dontcha be a hummer
Everybody dance
Put on your polka pants
Raise your buns way up in the air!
'Cause it's the First Brat of summer going down.
