'02: Be True to Your Bar

Sitting in bars and cafés
 Writing songs about songs
 And plays within plays
 But how rarely we dare
 To write something that says
 Anything about bars and cafés
 Be true to your bar
 And don't let it down
 Or else it may not always be around
 Be true to your friends
 And let your friends know
 Without your bar you'd have no place to go
 ♪
 You can't drink tea all day long
 You'll have two heart attacks
 Before you write the third song
 And how barely you'll care
 If the rhythm's all wrong
 Drinking Irish Breakfast all day long
 Eight hours is all you can take
 Of tea at St. Dymphna's
 Until your hands shake
 Then repair to your lair
 For booze and beefcake
 Eight more hours, till you can't stay awake
 
 Be true to your bar
 And don't let it down
 Or else it may not always be around
 Be true to your friends
 And let your friends know
 Without your bar you'd have no place to go
 Be true to your bar
 (And don't let it down)
 Or else it may not always be around
 Be true to your friends
 (And let your friends know)
 Without your bar you'd have no place to go
 Be true to your bar
