To the tune of a Billy Connelly song 'Oh Sergeant Is This The Adventure'
***************************************************************
.
I'm[C] sittin' at the bar
, and[F] shoutin for[C] drink
Thinking that life's passed me[G] out,
[C] Drinkin' with dipso's , not[F] having
to[C] think,
Strong whiskey and[G] pints of black[C] stout
[Chorus]
Of[F] father is this the[C]
adventure you meant,
When I started on life's road to[G] ruin
Just[C] building up bricks and[F] mixing ce[C]ment
Strong
whiskey and[G] pints of black stout
[2]
It's St. Michael's day and they won't have to pay
Young lassies with mini skirts tight
The first
Tuesday is here and they're in for the beer
For the Bacardi and cheap splash of Coke
[Repeat Chorus]
Tommy's got the entrance fee, Paddy's flat broke
Deco's just won on the tote,
Johnny's dole didn't come, he's now on the bum
''Feckin liar he drank it last night''
There's fellas over there and they're stuck to the chair
It looks like they're in for the match
Giving
grief to the telly , is it Liverpool or Kerry
More whiskey and pints of black stout
[Repeat Chorus]
The
ballad group in the corner shouts for order
''Give the auld songs a bit of respect''
The whistler strikes
up , a guitar gets a pluck
' The Lonesome Boatman' is drowning tonight.
[Repeat Chorus]
The auld barman calls time , and they make a bee-line
The first Tuesday has come to a close
And
the clock strikes a gong , it's time to move on
As the band plays Red Is The Rose
[
Repeat Chorus]
