Meet the Hashers
Tune: Meet the Flintstones
Hashers, meet the Hashers
They’re the biggest drunks in history
From the hash of Albuquerque
They’re the leaders in debauchery
Half minds, trailing shiggy through the years
Watch them as they down a lot of beers
Down, down, down, down, down . . . keep downing to tune until all downs are done!
