STRIKE THE BELL LANDLORD



1. In our local boozer, hear the rafters ring

Everybody's gathered there just to have a sing

The atmosphere is warming up the choruses are prime

Then the landlord rings his little bell and calls out TIME!



Chorus:

Strike the bell landlord, serve another round

Such a thirsty crowd as this is seldom to be found

To break such jovial company would surely be a sin

So strike the bell and shut the door, and lock us all In.!



2. Tom over there's chattin' up a girl with class

She's drinking double vodkas and it's costin' him all his brass

She's very understanding when she gets a little tight

Just another two or three and he'll be set up for the night.



3. Tim in the corner has been drinking very hard

But everything he's had tonight he's left out in the yard

He's got nothing left to show for all he's had to pay

It's only fair to let him have some more before he goes away.



4. I have to admit I've had a drop or two meself

Me vision's kind of fuzzy and me legs aren't working well

If a copper stopped me car me breath would set his bag alight

So keep us off the road and let me stay the night.



5. Here comes our local copper, creepin' up so sly

His beat is hot and dusty and he's looking very dry

Underneath that uniform he's just like me and you

So stick a tankard in his fist and lock him in too.



6. Landlord if you'll be our friend, and if you'll let us stay

We'll keep your til a ringin' 'til the dawning of the day

the more we drink, the more we sing, Singin makes us dry

We'll drink the moon to bed and sing the sun into the sky.
