Thread Name: Lyr Req: You can't buy beer at our party
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: You can't buy beer at our party
As I recall, this is a recitation, not a song. It started:

They're building a house down our way
Boo
A public house
Hooray
They don't sell beer
They give it away
They don't have glasses
Only buckets
They don't have barmen
Only barmaids
etc.

Haven't heard it in 35 years, hence the "etc"

Wassail! V
