Although I am flattered to have finally received these glorious words, I must admit. My dear friend Sandwich brought with him on our road to monkeyfest a CD containing the tune you all came to know and love: "In Heaven There Is No Beer".

Hence, the credit lies with him. Give it where it is due.
Thank you for reading, and good day.

Big Props to Frankie Yankovic too!

Did he sing it as a chant? What version did he sing? (It's a very old song, there are many versions)


IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO BEER
‘CAUSE WE DRINK IT ALL DOWN HERE
IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO BEER
‘CAUSE WE DRINK IT ALL DOWN HERE
AND WHEN YOU’RE GONE FROM HERE
YOUR FRIENDS WILL DRINK ALL THE BEER

IN HELL THEY ALL DRINK GIN
TO ATONE FOR ALL THEIR SINS
IN HELL THEY ALL DRINK GIN
TO ATONE FOR ALL THEIR SINS
THE SUFFERING BEGINS
WITH WARM FRENCH BEER AND TURKISH GIN

IN PERGATORY PASSING TIME
YOU’LL DRINK SACREMENTAL WINE
IN PERGATORY PASSING TIME
YOU’LL DRINK SACREMENTAL WINE
YOUR ETERNAL REWARD
IS IRISH WHISKEY WITH THE LORD
AMEN

this is the version we were sining

In Heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And When we're gone from here
All our friends will be drinking all our beer

In Heaven there is no wine
Lets drink til we feel fine
And When it comes our time
All our friends will be drinking all our wine

In Heaven there is no drink
At least thats what we think
And When we go ca-plink
All our friends will be drinking all our drink

In Heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And When we're gone from here
All our friends will be drinking all our beer

In Heaven there is no beer
Let's stay and Drink it here
And When our friends aren't here
We will be drinking all their beer
