Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We got the seven inch single, the long play now
Burn the twelve inch disco mix
Just put it on the jukebox, grab yourself a lager
See what the needle predicts
[Verse 2]
We had the country and western, a dodgy little section
With Jerry Lee Lewis and gang
From a Jack to a King to ??? wing
But still the whole tavern, they sang
[Verse 3]
Dolly Parton was queen
Billy Joel or The Boss
We were uptown, downtown, little bit of Motown
With Marvin Gaye or Diana Ross
[Verse 4]
All the punters would sing
You'd be joining in too
Red, Red Wine, Everybody Hurts
And Don't it Make Your Brown Eyes Blue
[Verse 5]
So, barman, don't be a tease
Now we're down on our knees
Plug that Wurlizter back in
For the hes and the shes
[Verse 6]
Well, we're begging you please
For the Peters and Lees
Stick another fifty P in
And make it out and out cheese
[Verse 7]
Then there were the tightwads, go up to the jukebox
Put in solitary five P
Worked out the Pink Floyd, anything by Meatloaf
Was longer than your ten CC
[Verse 8]
Arguing when the B side's better than the A side
Denying one you actually put on
Pretending that you hate it, you don't even rate it
But catch yourself singing along
[Verse 9]
Neil Diamond was king
Elton John number one
It was the working class hymn book, the one congregation
The church really wished to be gone
[Verse 10]
We sang Give Peace a Chance
With Yoko Ono and John
Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting
And Where Have All the Boot Boys Gone
[Verse 11]
So, barman, don't be a tease
Now we're down on our knees
Plug that Wurlizter back in
For the hes and the shes
[Verse 12]
Well, we're begging you please
For the Peters and Lees
Stick another fifty P in
And make it out and out cheese
[Verse 13]
So, barman, don't be a tease
Now we're down on our knees
Plug that Wurlizter back in
For the hes and the shes
[Verse 14]
Well, we're begging you please
For the Peters and Lees
Stick another fifty P in
And make it out and out cheese
