Inspired by antics at the North Mountain Inn, and by a beloved, dearly departed character, Chubediah (Carl Reinheart).
To the tune of “What’s Up,” by the 4-Non Blondes.

What’s Up North Mountain?
All these years, and here we are
Having a drink at our favorite bar
The North Mountain Inn
It doesn’t take long to realize
The beer is still cold, and the food is still hot
AMEN! And the staff is amazing.
They’ve got Beam Me Up Scotty’s and Jager Bombs.
Lemon drops and sweet Duck Farts, oh yeah
And Buttery Nipples
Someone will call for their favorite shot
It tastes really good. We drink it a lot
We used to scream from the top of our lungs, Fireball!
And I said yeah yeah yeah, I said yeah yeah yeah, I said yeah. Fireball!
And I said yeah yeah yeah, I said raise a glass… for Chubbediah!
[Spoken]
That’s right, the first Toast of this song still goes to our old friend Chub.
The handsome young fella’ in that picture right there on the wall, may he rest in peace
His memory is honored with the Chubbediah Music Grant for local artists.
Please talk to your bartender about applying or making a donation.
Okay, listen up. This next part’s important.
Because the staff, oh my God, the staff
They bust their fucking ass -at the North Mountain Inn
So reward, the bartender, and the kitchen staff
Reward them with some cold hard cash, for their contribution
Because they’ve got Beam Me Up Scotty’s and Jager Bombs
Lemon drops and sweet Duck Farts, oh yeah, you should try one
Or a slippery nipple
You know someone’ll call for their favorite shot, it tastes really good, and we drink it a lot.
We used to scream from the top of our lungs, Fireball!
And I said yeah, yeah, yeah, raise a glass for all our departed loved ones
And I said yeah, yeah, yeah, raise a glass, and toast your friends!
And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, raise a glass, to The North Mountain Inn!
And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, raise a glass for the fabulous, tonight’s host!
All these years, and here we are
Having a drink at our favorite bar (You know where)
The North Mountain Inn.
