[Verse 1]
Am Dm G
Where they sit around and get a round in while the getting's good,
Am G
They'll make the most until the money's gone.
Am Dm G
They're coming out to celebrate, to sing and dance and to escape
Am G Am
A crazy world where everything seems wrong.
F C G
Drinking to forget and to remember all the glory days,
F G
The days we stood apart and we stood strong;
Am Dm G
Though the beer befuddles sense it can't provide them recompense,
Am G Am
They settle for anotherdrinkingsong.

[Verse 2]
Am Dm G
Where the 'busy man finds recreation' the 'idle man finds business',
Am G
The 'melancholy man finds sanctuary';
Am Dm G
The 'stranger may have welcome' and still within these selfsame walls,
Am G Am
The 'citizen may find some courtesy'*.
F C G
From 'Rose and Crown' to 'cock and bull' all history is written there,
F G
To folklore, myth, and legend we belong;
Am Dm G
Come masons, plumbers, carpenters, come cricketers and huntsmen,
Am G Am
All join in with anotherdrinkingsong

[Verse 3]
Am Dm G
Well you can keep your 'long-hours culture' and lusting for adventure,
Am G
There's life aplenty down 'The Tap 'n' Spile'
Am Dm G
Forget your occupation down the salutation
Am G Am
This tragicomedy will make you smile
F C G
From quaint barstool philosophy to subtle innuendo
F G
It's funny how the tribes all get along
Am Dm G
Curse abstinence and temperance; come celebrate insouciance
Am G Am
And join us in anotherdrinkingsong
