Subject: Parody on Green Fields of France
Help.... anybody....

I've heard a terrific parody on Eric Bogle's Green Fields of France in which the words tell of the drunk in the pub who insists on getting up and singing every verse. It epitomises the worst possible situation, with the real guest singer wandering out for a drink and a read of the paper (if I remember rightly) and coming back to find him "...still going on abvout gas and barbed wire."

If I can get the words I'll swap them for my own parody on the Eric Bogle Aussie war song....
