I am trying to find the lyrics for a comic song which could be called 'Newcastle brown ale'. the chorus goes: 'Newcastle brown, Newcastle brown, the finest old beer you'll find in this town, I've walked many a mile to sit here and smile and drink of that Newcastle brown'... It is often preceeded by a monologue about Ma Firkin and her constipation and how after various attempts she [Mafeking - geddit?]is relieved of her suffering by the said beer. Can anyone help? I would love to include it in my collection Regards. |

The thread was called Beer drinking song suggestion needed: [I have reformatted the lyrics a bit.]
1. A long time ago in the land of the Tyne, The natives were all getting tired of wine, So they dredged up some mud from the Tyne river bed, Added gallons of nitro, and then proudly said: CHORUS: "Call it Newcastle Brown, Newcastle Brown. It's the finest old beer that you'll find in this town. I'd walk many a mile To sit here in style And drink of the Newcastle Brown." 2. A drunken young Geordie got married quite quick To a pretty young lass that he'd put up the – stairs. On the night of the wedding her face was quite red For it wasn't a jerry stuck under the bed. CHORUS: It was Newcastle Brown.... 3. A Japanese tourist went back to Japan, And when he was asked by the Jap customs man, "What have you to declare?" he said, "Six Wedgwood plates, A bottle of whiskey and twenty six crates— CHORUS: "Of Newcastle Brown...." 4. A wayward young climber who fell from a fell Parted soul from his body and went down to hell. As he entered the furnace, what did he find? There was the Devil out of his mind— CHORUS: Drinking Newcastle Brown.... |
