Though you do the best you can, When life looks black as the hour of night - A pint of plain is your only man. When money's tight and is hard to get And your horse has also ran, When all you have is a heap of debt - A pint of plain is your only man. When health is bad and your heart feels strange, And your face is pale and wan, When doctors say that you need a change, A pint of plain is your only man. When food is scarce and your larder bare And no rashers grease your pan, When hunger grows as your meals are rare - A pint of plain is your only man. In time of trouble and lousy strife, You have still got a darlint plan, You still can turn to a brighter life - A pint of plain is your only man. Flann O'Brien (Brian O'Nolan) |
