One Of Those Songs Everyone Should Know By Heart ....

Posted over 4 years ago
Here are the lyrics.
*Immanuel Kant was a real pissantWho was very rarely stable.Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggarWho could think you under the table.David Hume could out-consumeWilhelm Friedrich Hegel,* [some versions have 'Schopenhauer and Hegel']*And Wittgenstein was a beery swineWho was just as schloshed as Schlegel.There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'Bout the raising of the wrist.Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.Plato, they say, could stick it away--Half a crate of whisky every day.Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.Hobbes was fond of his dram,And René Descartes was a drunken fart.'I drink, therefore I am.'Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,A lovely little thinker,But a bugger when he's pissed.*
Practice when you can. If you get ambitous, post your singing. I just may do the same. Tune up Philly MOGGERS. Sept 8 is just around the corner. Yes, yes crib sheets will be distributed.
