Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Immanuel  Kant was a real piss-ant
 Who was very rarely stable
 Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
 Who could think you under the table
 David Hume could out-consume
 Whilhelm Friedrich Hegel
 And Wittgenstein  was a beery swine
 Who was just as sloshed as Schlagel
 There's nothin' Nieizsche  couldn't teach ya
 'Bout the raising of the wrist
 Socrates himself  was permanently pissed
 John Stuart Mill of his own free will
 After half a pint o' shanty became 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'
 But Socrates himself is particularly missed
 A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed
