THERE'S A STRIPPER IN THE PUBLIC BAR
(Miles Wootton)

CHORUS: 'Cause there's a stripper in the public bar, a monster fruit machine,
There's chintzy-chintzy paper on the wall,
And I hear they're going to get a television set.
Oh, it isn't like a public house at all.

1. Now they used to brew the beer in barrels made of wood.
It made you drunk, and boy it tasted fine,
But the new stuff that is made tastes like fizzy lemonade.
Give me the good old brewing every time. CHORUS

2. Now once there was a dartboard where we went for double top,
And the rattle of the skittles could be heard,
But since the juke box came, no one plays the game,
And nobody can hear a bloody word. CHORUS

3. Now Mick and me's been coming here for twenty years or more,
And we'd hoped the pub would always stay the same.
The walls were rather bare, there were cobwebs everywhere,
But at least the barmaid always knew your name. CHORUS

4. Now there's chrome around the counter and there's plastic on the bar,
And everything is beautifully clean,
But the barmaid's had to go, so the beer is going to flow
Automatically dispensed by a machine. CHORUS

FINAL CHORUS; REPEAT LAST LINE OF CHORUS.
