    Default My kingdom for a beer

    There I was in Southampton town
    looking around and up and down.

    Not a pub the high street town
    some one said they were all pulled down

    Need a beer I have a thirst,
    No pub here this town is cursed.

    I asked a man about a pub
    all he said sounded like rub a bub, dub

    I though his voice was kind of whacky
    but then again I do not speak Paki

    The Horse and Groom where we had a lark
    is now just a bloody big car park

    No where in town to get a beer
    I think this town is very queer.

    I walked the streets to get a drink
    this town is mad I begin to think

    I turn the corner and there by me
    I find myself outside the JB

    Inside on for a drink I have a beer
    maybe this town is not so queer

    But the pubs are now so few to find
    Easy here to lose your mind.

    Yates wine bar is still in the town
    only one they did not knock down

    So next time you feel like a wee
    just drop into the good old JB
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
