Dear Jeff - You might remember I wrote some lyrics for you in the production of Wizards All at the Vic back in the 70s. Here's one you might like to arrange for your new show. It's got a very posh title but dunner be put off:

NINETY TWENTY SIX AT THE ATHENAEUM

He marched down to London in the mining strike
And stopped at a pub or something like

The Toffs tottered merrily in and out
And me dad went in and ordered stout

"I'm sorry, sir, you're not a member here
I'm sorry, sir, you're not a member here
I'm sorry, sir, you're not a member here
So bugger off out, you're not a member here"

Then t'King stepped up and bellowed in his ear
The King stepped up and bellowed in his ear
The King stepped up and bellowed in his ear
He took off his crown and bellowed in his ear

He said "I'll buy a drink for this brave lad
I will I'll buy a drink for this Potteries lad
I'll buy a drink for this brave lad
I will and you can put it on me tab, by Gad!"

My father told the King , "Just go and take a piss
Me Dad he told the King to take a running piss

"I'd die before I'd join a bloody club like this
I'd rather die before I'd join a club like this
You can keep your fucking beer but I'll tell thee this
I'd rather die before I'd join a club like this."
