I used to sing love songs,
but now it's just pub songs
'..down at the old Bull and Bush..'

drinking my schooners of Australian sherry
getting a bit wayward, getting a bit merry,

and I pause here to note,
those schooners were the nearest things to any ship
that I ever held dear.

I wouldn't recommend the wine
the barkeep is lucky that he ain't
doing time for selling that slop,
down at the old
down at the old?
that's another problem, too much drink and
I can't think what pub I'm in.
