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

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

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
