Beans On Toast – Taylor Swift lyrics

If you could have a drink with anyone
Dead or alive
Fictional or non-Fictional
Who would you have a drink with?

Well that's a question asked to me by a friend of mine
While making conversation on a, long drive
I didn't really think about it, just gave the answer quick
"I dunno" I said, "Maybe Taylor Swift?"
He said he think he'd like to have a drink with Tom Waits
And instantly I wondered if I'd made a mistake
Shit, fuck, wait, hang on, can I change my choice?
In fact I think I'd like to have a drink with Bill Hicks
But we both know he's dead
And Tom Waits doesn't drink these days
And why are we speaking hypothetically anyway
Because Favour Flav always said
Don't believe the hype
Celebrity can be our integrity tonight

I'd like to have a pint with John Lennon
A pint of John Smiths
With Bruce Sprigsteeen
Noam Chomsky
And Joey from Dawson's Creek
Jennifer Eagan
Tyler Durden
And Kate Tempest
Tom Robbins
Todd Snyder
And Conor Oberst

Now don't you even think about it, this round's on me
Knowing we'll have a bit of Jennifer, a G n' T
And hypothetically if I could choose the venue as Well
I'd chose the monarch in Camden Town
I'm more than just a regular, I'm there like every day
I really like the bar staff, and that old arcade
I can't wait to see the look on Mark the manager's face
When Bruce comes in, and asks for a drink
Maybe we can get him to do a few tunes
And while we're at it let's invite some other friends along

I'd like to have a drink with Jack White
A shot of Jack Daniels
With Jam Baxter
Chaz and Dave
And the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Russell Brand
Adam Curtis
And Mohammed Ali
Well I'm pretty sure that he's tee-totalled
But he can join us for a cup of tea

Now the party's getting started
Bruce is on the guitar
Kate is on the microphone
And Dave is on the drums
Hypothetically the party is in full swing
Michelangelo's getting the pizzas in
Then suddenly it hits me
What the fuck have I done?
I've invited all these people and I don't know anyone
Why isn't my wife standing here by my side?
Shit, she's the first person that I would invite
And what the hell do you think my mum is gonna do?
When she finds out I'm playing John Lennon at pool
Drop her a text, she'll be here in a flash
And when you think about it
Who are your real mates?

I'd like to have a drink with Jonny Manning
A bottle of Johhny Walker
With Dave Danger
Ally Wolf
And Bobby Banjo
My brother Kez
Yvonne and Jeff
And little Robyn
I'd like to have a drink with Skye Smead
The very same friend that asked me that question
