Damn - I was just going to post the lyric!
sod it, I'll do it anyway:
The Bruces' Philosophers Song
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could take you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietszche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato they say could stick it away
Half a crate 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!'
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed.
Ah, they don't write numbers like that anymore
