Brains Dark - Pub Song

SING IT TO “Danny Boy”

Verse

Oh what a joke
This beer is full of water
Tastes not like beer
But something very strange
So landlord dear do tell us what you diiid
Make sure you never dooooo it again

Refrain

From pub to pub we taste the watered beer
But no one cares its Friiiday -  lets go
Time to relax with all your friends around you 
Oh Braiiiins dark* I dooooo love you so

Verse

It’s Friday night and we are feeling hungry
One place to go to ease our appetite
Its Chippy Alley*** in the city centre
Brains dark*, Clarks pies**, will soon put it right

Refrain

From pub to pub we taste the watered beer
But no one cares Its Friiiday lets go
Time to relax with all your friends around you
Oh Braaains Dark I dooooo love you so

•	   Brains Dark Beer -  brewed in Cardiff very strong taste (hops).
**       Clarks Pies - Famous meat pies made in Cardiff. If your from Cardiff and not at 
           home you will yearn for both.
***     Chippy Alley side street in city centre, mostly chip shops, used  when 
            international rugby is in town
