lyrics

The first pub I went-in-that-sold me a jar
Was the King Lud in Fleet Street that's now a snack bar
The Coach and the Eight met a similar fate
It closed shortly after going all, la-di-da

Many's the lunchhour that stretched into four
At the Stapleton Arms which is standing no more
The Golden Fleece is now resting in peace
And the Three Crowns went down like the Mermaid next door

I'd get 'em in if I could but I know what I'm doing
Every beer that I buy
Brings a tear to my eye
And another good boozer's that little bit closer to ruin

I'd quite often call at The Hole in the Wall
If you look for it now you won't find it at all
There's nothing else in the place of the Nelson
And a car park marks the old Hamilton Hall
People still tell of the times at The Bell
Which is where we all went when the Royal Oak fell
We'd have gone to the Castle but the landlord was a rascal
So I wasn't too sorry when that closed as well

Well I wouldn't blame you, it's a reasonable thought
That my pockets are deep but my arms are too short
It's not that I'm tight, I'm just doing what's right
Coz I've seen what'll happens to pubs I support
Now there's only one place in the whole of the town
That property developers didn't pull down
So one of these afternoons In JD Wetherspoon's
I'm gonna think about buying a round
