300 - When Do You Say Budweiser

About this song

Words and music by Steve Karmen, arranged by Frank D. Cofield

Lyrics

When do you say Budweiser,
Whenever the moment is right for a great beer.
When do you say Budweiser,
Whenever the good times are movin' to right here.
After the work is done or while you're still havin' fun.
Any times the right time to say it. When do you say Budweiser?
Bud's the beer for any time at all.

When do you say Budweiser,
The smile on your face tells the world what you're thinkin'.
When do you say Budweiser,
The number one beer is what you'll be drinkin'.
After the work is done ('n) while you're still havin' fun the King of Beers is waiting for your call.
When you say Budweiser!
You've said it all!

Instrumentation requirements

There are a few exposed mellophone/trombone parts, but otherwise the trumpet, alto sax (1st and 2nd), flutes and clarinets (also 1st and 2nd) carry the melody.

History

It is speculated that this song, along with Welcome to Miller Time and Schlitz Makes it Great, was played back when GM week had a parade and was sponsored by beer companies.
