The Music Won't Be Stopping

Well they say you'll need a licence
For to sing or play a tune
Wherever people gather
Not a dance will be immune
If you make your entertainment
Then the councils want their cut
All the length of Wales and England
Or they'll make the place shut

       Chorus
       And the music won't be stopping
       They will always hear us sing
       Whatever laws and red tape
       The politicians bring
       You can have your legislation
       We will not pay it regard
       So beware with what you're doing
       We've completely marked your card

If you're crooning happy birthday
To somebody in the bar
Or upon the football terrace
If you become a singing star
If you're playing in a session
With no licence in the zone
There will only be one racket
Its the governments alone

They're taking all our rights today
It wasn't worth the task
Forgive us when we take them back
We will not beg or ask
We will never finish singing
We will never cease to play
And with it, not a penny
Will we ever put their way
