Lyrics You've Got To Drink The Froth To Get The Beer - Slim Dusty

You've Got To Drink The Froth To Get The Beer

There’s some who like to protest and a lot who like to moan
And no one wants to pay their tax or the interest on their loan
But as you struggle on through life for all that you hold dear
Remember that you’ve gotta drink the froth to get the beer
Hey you’ve gotta drink the froth to get the beer
No matter what you read or no matter what you hear
It’s a lay down hand you bet you’re gonna pay for all you get
Hey you’ve gotta drink the froth to get the beer
How often have you heard about the overnight success?
The man who made it to the top in a month or two or less
They say he got it easy with friends who opened doors
But nine times out of ten he’s battled twenty years before
Hey you’ve gotta drink the froth to get the beer
No matter what you read or no matter what you hear
It’s a lay down hand you bet you’re gonna pay for all you get
Hey you’ve gotta drink the froth to get the beer
Don’t waste your time complainin' cause no one wants to know
In life there’s no rehearsal it’s straight on with the show
As you’re roarin' down a highway smooth as a feather bed
Keep an eye out for a sign that says gravel road ahead
Hey you’ve gotta drink the froth to get the beer
No matter what you read or no matter what you hear
It’s a lay down hand you bet you’re gonna pay for all you get
Hey you’ve gotta drink the froth to get the beer
Hey you’ve gotta drink the froth to get the beer
