Thread Name: Lyr Req: songs from 'The Tale of Ale'
Subject: RE: Project: Lyrics from 'The Tale of Ale'
The chorus to 'GOOD ALE FOR MY MONEY' goes:

"I can't go home, I won't go home, it's 'long the oil of barley"

i.e. (a)long of (meaning because of) the oil of barley (meaning beer - surprise eh?)

I found it by googling the song title, but can't remember where.
