The Philosophy Of Drinking

This little bar song was ripped from a Monty Python

skit which (hopefully) many fans would recognise.

Now you can sing along!

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant

Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar

Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume

Schopenhauer and Hegel.

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine

Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach you

*Bout the raising on the wrist.

Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed...

John Stuart Mill of his own free will

After half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away,

Half a crate of whiskey every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,

Hobbes was fond of his dram.

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:

*I drink therefore I am.*

Then, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed.

A lovely little thinker...

But a bugger when he's pissed!
