02 Nov 07 - 09:38 AM (#2184959) Subject: Lyr Req: Unknown folk song From: GUEST,Adham I don't know if I have put this in the right section, but I am looking for a song which my grandad used to have a tape of and play me when I was younger. The song I am looking for was on a tape which included the songs "The Hartlepool Monkey", "In the Bar Room" and "The Sick Note (Why Paddy's Not At Work Today". I cannot remember the name of the song, but it was basically a story in song, about a party going on in somebody's living room, a piano playing, all of them singing along getting steadily more drunk. At one stage someone is sent to fetch more beer by breaking in the back of a nearby pub. I understand that this is a bit of a long shot, but I have been looking for this song for quite a while and am still unable to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adham |

The name of the writer escapes me and I can't look it up at the mo. Will post later if you think this is the song, unless someone beats me to it. |
