Lord of the Drunken Banter

they say he's lord of the drunken banter
that girl who sings there's whom he's after
he boasts and brags he can bag any broad 
who strays into this smoky pub by the road

he roars, "hey, waiter, don't you block  my view
   she smiles  and sings exclusively for me
      same songs of love that always sound so new
         she's really hooked on me as you can see

"so, waiter, step aside and stay away
    just wish you were that guitar on her lap
      or be the that mike upon her lips, but hey,
         that's only in your groggiest dream, poor chap

"now here she comes, just watch your macho man
   she'll surely sit here close to me, you'll see
      hello, sweet babe, you got some sexy plan?
         these dudes right here won't mind, they'll let us be."

she smiles and stands beside the banter lord
and says to clear things up, just for the record
she wants them all to meet the man of her life
and he's this waiter here, and she's his wife !
