19 May 03 - 11:12 AM (#955469) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Early Doors From: MC Fat It means going to the pub after office or work hours around 4.30p.m.-6.30p.m. before you go home. Usually it's a certain type of crowd who frequent then. Like I've said I think the song is worth singing because of the line about Jim Couza |

Sun shines through a dusty curtain The clock's fast but I'm not certain Any minute now they're gonna open that beautiful door I'll be in heaven once more 5.30 is a magical time, Pavlov's bell begins to chime a sunny summers evening in July Why don't you give it a try They go Ch: Early doors , early doors, my favourite time of day - what's yours Thankyou kindly I don't mind if I do. The landlord's Gordon played a few games for Spurs He thinks it's his pub but the wife knows it's hers They're off to Tenerife wheneve they can to get the year round tan. Gordon's upstairs sleeping off lunchtime, a old joke with a regular punchline but he'll be down for the evening show & the punters all know... Ch; It's too late & I've drunk too much to remember the rest but I will continue...... |

Fat Bastard from Sheffield - no nicking it while I'm there else I'll do DAMTSTWR Jude EARLY DOORS Sun shines through a dusty curtain Clock's fast but I'm still certain Any minute now they're gonna unbolt that beautiful door We'll be in heaven once more. 5.30 is a magical time, Pavlov's bell begins to chime a sunny summer's evening in July why don't you give it a try. Early doors, early doors/favourite time of day What's yours Thankyou kindly, don't mind if I do.

It's a Place where everyone mingles & thejukebox only plays singles Reg & Ken sing theold songs once a week Down in the bar it's warm & smoky & they never ever have Karaoke The Only place in town you can hear yourself speak that makes it quite unique. It's just a little street corner boozer scarcely big enough for Jim Couza A snug & a public & a room where no-one goes Darts & doms & a shoveha'penny table, not trace of Carling black label The Beer tastes like nectar from the bestbeehive it makes you glad to be alive. In these days of compulsory leisure where accountants plan our pleasure ED is still my favourite dream. There's Maisie polishing the glasses & the crowd from the evening classes,lawyers&labourers&everyone in between So Like our mums & our dads before us, raise your glasses& join in the chorus if want good dreams to come true You know Exactly what to do Ch: |

It's the new (and very good Craig cash) sitcom that brought the song to mind and (un)fortunatly I've been singing it in me head since. I'd rather you 'chucked' me (ha! ha!). Love and kisses from the Fat One |

21 May 03 - 06:01 PM (#957266) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Early Doors From: Herga Kitty Snuffy You know, Jim Couza, brilliant American hammered dulcimer player. I once heard him sing a wonderful song about prohibition. Before Castro, Americans used to go to Cuba for early doors. The last line of the chorus is I'll C U in C U B A. |
