Cheers Song Lyrics
Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
You wanna be where you can see,
You wanna be where everybody knows
people are all the same,
your name.
Full Lyrics never actually aired
Making your way in the world today
Taking a break from all your worries
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those night when you've got no lights,
And your little angel
And your third fiance didn't show;
Sometimes you want to go
And they're always glad you came;
Our troubles are all the same;
The morning's looking bright;
And didn't even write;
Where everybody knows your name,
You want to go where people know,
You want to go where everybody knows your name.
Where everybody knows your name,
Where everybody knows your name,

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows Your name. You wanna go where people know, people are all the same, You wanna go where everybody knows your name. You wanna go where people know, people are all the same, You wanna go where everybody knows your name. [Full Lyrics from Season 1] Making your way in the world today Takes everything you've got; Taking a break from all your worries Sure would help a lot. Wouldn't you like to get away? All those night when you've got no lights, The check is in the mail; And your little angel Hung the cat up by it's tail; And your third fiance didn't show; Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; You want to be where you can see, Our troubles are all the same; You want to be where everybody knows your name. Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead; The morning's looking bright; And your shrink ran off to Europe, And didn't even write; And your husband wants to be a girl; Be glad there's one place in the world Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; You want to go where people know, People are all the same; You want to go where everybody knows your name. Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came; Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came..
The full-length version was made available on Portnoy's 2004 album Keeper. In January 2013, Argentum Records released a five-song EP to iTunes entitled Cheers: Music From The TV Series which also includes Portnoy's original demo version, as well as several earlier attempts by Portnoy and Angelo at composing the theme.
History[edit]
By 1981, New York songwriter Gary Portnoy had already written songs for the likes of Air Supply ('I’ll Never Get Enough') and Dolly Parton ('Say Goodnight'). One night in the summer of that same year, his friend Judy Hart happened to be seated next to a Broadway producer at dinner. Upon finding out that Hart was working for a music publisher, he asked her if she could recommend someone to compose the score for a new musical he was producing. On a whim, Hart, who had never written a song, approached Portnoy, who had never written for the theater. Together they set out to compose the words and music for the musical named Preppies.[1]
In the spring of 1982, Judy, now using her full married name of Judy Hart Angelo, sent a tape of Preppies' opening number 'People Like Us' to a friend in California, who then passed it on to television producers Glen and Les Charles. Upon hearing it they each felt that with a lyric re-write 'People Like Us' would be the perfect theme song for their upcoming NBC sitcom, Cheers. Upon learning that 'People Like Us' was legally bound to the musical Preppies, the Charles Brothers asked Portnoy and Hart Angelo to take a shot at composing a theme specifically for Cheers. The song that resulted, 'My Kind of People', was somewhat of a reworked version of 'People Like Us'. It was subsequently rejected.

One of them, entitled 'Another Day', contained a lyric line 'There are times when it's fun to take the long way home' that greatly appealed to the Charles brothers. But overall, the song missed the mark and was passed over. The fourth song began with a catchy intro followed by simple alternating chords on a piano. The opening verse lines, both musically and lyrically, were something of a lament. The verse then transitioned into a soaring refrain that seemed to capture the essence of why people might want to go to a place like 'Cheers' — a place 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name'. The two songwriters recorded a simple piano/voice demo of the new song for the Cheers producers. Upon hearing it, the Charles Brothers gave it their stamp of approval, and once Portnoy and Hart Angelo had complied with a request for a few lyric changes intended to broaden the song's appeal to a more general audience, 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name' was officially designated the 'Theme from Cheers'. The original opening verse:
was changed to:
After several months of mulling over possible outside singers, the producers eventually asked Gary Portnoy to record the vocal for the opening credits of their new series. (The chorus of the song is six of Portnoy’s vocals that he recorded one on top of the other to create the 'group sound' of the hook.) It was also decided to maintain the simple feel of the New York demo in the TV version by keeping the number of instruments to a minimum. The finalized version of the Cheers theme song was recorded on August 13, 1982 at Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles, California.

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
I'm sorry, mama, but I've been drinking again
Me and the old man got us a head start on the weekend And rest assured tonight I'm going to be in Kevin's basement with all my friends Provided we can get, get our lazy asses down to Bottle King by ten
And the walk home is going to be a real shit-show
I'll be picking up half-smoked cigarette butts all up and down Rock Road And then throw up in the warm glow of the traffic light But I'm going to put the devil inside me to sleep if it takes all night
So let's get fucked up
And let's pretend we're all okay And if you've got something that you can't live with, save it for another day Alright, save it for another day
I'm sorry, Mama, expect a call from the neighbors tonight
All of my asshole buddies are coming over and they're feeling a little too alright I'm sick and tired of everyone in this town being so goddamn uptight But don't you worry, I'll do all the talking when they turn on the flashing lights Related
When I'm an old man I can be the quiet type
And I can go without a moment of fun for the rest of my life I can read a good book and I can be in bed by ten And I can get up early, go to work and come home, and start it all over again
But while we're young, boys, everybody raise your glasses high
Singing, 'Here's to the good times, here's to the home team Kiss the good times goodbye Oh yeah, kiss the good times goodbye'
I need a timeout
I need an escape from reality Or else I need eternal darkness and death I need an exit strategy
Down in North Carolina
I could have been a productive member of society But these New Jersey cigarettes and all they require Have made a fucking junkie out of me Theme From Cheers ChordsPhotosTheme From Cheers Mp3
So give me a Guinness
Give me a Keystone Light Give me a kegger on a Friday night Give me anything but another year in exile
I need a whiskey, I need a whiskey, I need a whiskey right now
I need a whiskey, I need a whiskey God know how many times I've said this before But I really don't feel like doing this anymore
So hey, Andy, let's turn into dirty old men
Close down the bar every night at the Glen Rock Inn Talk about our grandkids as we stroke our gray beards Funny we're still doing car bombs after all of these years
Now I know there are bicycles waiting to ride
But I could swear I heard voices from the other side Saying, 'Wait until you see the whites of their eyes'
And now that I'm older, I look back and say
'What the fuck was it for anyway?' Those dreams are lying in the still of the grave What the fuck were they for anyway?
So let it be on a stretcher if I get carried away
What the fuck was it for anyway? What the fuck was it for anyway?
