G5
Where they sit around
                C5            F5
And get a round in while the getting's good
G5                    B5         F5        G5
They'll make the most until the money's gone
                                    C5                     F5
They're coming out to celebrate, to sing and dance and to escape
G5                   B5         F5     G5
A crazy world where everything seems wrong
C5                         B5                      F5
Drinking to forget and to remember all the glory days
C5                                    F5
The days we stood apart and we stood strong
G5
Though the beer befuddles sense
C5                     F5
It can't provide them recompense
G5              B5      F5       G5    
They settle for anotherdrinkingsong

Where the 'busy man finds recreation'
the 'idle man finds business'
The 'melancholy man finds sanctuary'
The 'stranger may have welcome'
and still within these self-same walls
The 'citizen may find some courtesy'
From 'rose and crown' to 'cock and bull'
all history is written there
To folklore, myth and legend we belong
Come Masons, Plumbers Carpenters,
Come Cricketers and huntsmen
All join in anotherdrinkingsong

Well you can keep your 'long-hours culture'
your lusting for adventure
There's life aplenty down 'The tap 'n' Spile'
Forget youroccupation down 'The Salutation'
This tragi-comedy will make you smile
From quaint barstoll philosophy to subtle innuendo
It's funny how the tribes all get along
Curse abstinence and temperance, come celebrate insouciance
And join us in anotherdrinkingsong
