D
Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant
                    A
Who was very rarely stable

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
                              D
Who could drink you under the table

David Hume could out-consume
                   G
Whilhelm Friedrich Hegel
    A
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
                           D
Who was just as sloshed as Schlagel
                A
There's nothin' Nature didn't teach yer

'Bout the raisin' of the wrist
            D        B7          E7
Socrates himself was permanently pissed


Verse 2:

John Stuart Mill of his own free will
On a bottle o' shanty became particularly ill
Plato they say, could put it away
Half a pint 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'


But Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!
