Pint Fever
(Lyrics: Andy Doonican / Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
I’ve only got ten pounds, but there’s boozin’ all ararnd
If there’s summat goin’ darn, it’s beer, and I’ll drink it
On the way to the club, we’ll be hittin’ ev’ry pub
All the lasses stop n’ stare, ‘cos we look reight fit
And that sweet Barnsley barmaid,
She moves through the pub
Controllin’ me mind and me cash
When you reach art for me lass, and you pass me me pint
I get pint fever, pint fever,
And we know how to drink it
Got that pint fever, pint fever,
Drunk and I’m gonna show it
Here I am, prayin’ that me lager will last
Dining on the music so fine,
The curry’s givin’ me wind
But this pint is mine!
At our local pub, they also serve some decent grub
But I’ve only got enough to get drunk til t’mornin’
I’ve got fire in me loins, and a pocketful o’ coins
And I’m bustin’ better moves than Stephen Hawking
And that sweet Barnsley barmaid,
She moves through the pub
Controllin’ me mind and me cash
When you reach art for me lass and you pass me me pint
I get pint fever, pint fever,
In the mornin’ I’ll be shattered
But we’ve got pint fever, pint fever,
And we’re gonna get so bladdered
(Worse than we’ve ever done before)
And theer’s ‘ar lass, hopin’ that I’m goin’ to last
‘cos I’ve gone and drunk me’sen blind
And I just wanna sleep ‘cos it’s past me bedtime
I get pint fever, pint fever,
And we know how to drink it
Got that pint fever, pint fever
Drunk and I’m gonna show it
(Drink like we’ve never drunk before)
Stalking On Facebook
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
I don’t know if you love me or hate me, I’m really not sure
But since you went and found me on Facebook,
I’ve been locking me doors
‘cos every time I go to me inbox
Your message is found
With a picture of you in me tank-top
And your trousers down
You’re stalking on Facebook, oh no
You’re stalking on Facebook, oh no
Don’t stalk me on Facebook, oh no
‘cos you’re up to no good
You comment on all of my photos and statuses too
You’re pretending you’re Deirdre from Goldthorpe
But I know that it’s you
‘cos you know what I’ve done, where I’m going,
What day, at what time
But now that you’ve poked me
That’s just where I’m drawing the line
You’re stalking on Facebook, oh no
You’re stalking on Facebook, oh no
Don’t stalk me on Facebook, oh no
‘cos you’re up to no good
I dun’t feel the love, I’ve had enough
Stop stalking me and bugger off
I dun’t feel the love, I’ve had enough
Stop stalking me and bugger off
‘cos I’m on to you sunshine, wo-woah
I’m on to you sunshine, wo-woah
I’m on to you sunshine, wo-woah
And now you’ve been blocked
I Fought The Lawn
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
Ar’ lass med me go and do the garden
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
She said “Just have some patience!”, but I’ve got none
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
So I’m stuck art in the garden and it looks reight bad
We’ve got mole hills the size of King Kong
Then I run ovver the wire,
Now the mower’s dead and gone
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
So she left me with the strimmer in the hot sun
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
It looks thinner than Yul Brynner now that I’ve done
I fought the lawn and the lawn, now we’ve got none
I fought the lawn and the lawn’s gone
I missed watchin’ t’telly and I’m reight dischuffed
‘cos she’ll ‘ave switched Nigella off
If she’s sat theer watchin' Ground Force…
It’s goin’ to kick off
‘cos I fought the lawn and the lawn won
I fought the lawn and the lawn won
‘cos I fought the lawn and the lawn won
I fought the lawn… now the lawn’s gone!
Viva Skeg-Vegas
(Lyrics: Andy Doonican / Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
Bright light Skeggy goin’ art toneet
I’m gonna set this tarn on fire
Got a bit o’ money that I’m ready to burn
So get me a pint now, squire
‘cos there’s a thousand loose women
That are waitin’ art there
And they’re drinking pints of devil may care
And I’m just a Doonican letting darn me hair
In Viva Skeg-Vegas, Viva Skeg-Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than twenty-four hours in the day
‘cos even if there were twenty-four more
You know I wouldn’t sleep a minute away
‘cos there’s a Butlin’s, a shitty beach and 99’s here
And a dozen scabby donkey’s that have got diarrhea
And it’s allus bad if you catch crabs on the pier
In Viva Skeg-Vegas, Viva Skeg-Vegas
Viva Skeg-Vegas wi’ your illuminations flashin’
And yer penny slots a-crashin’
All my money darn the drain
Viva Skeg-Vegas, drinkin’ day into nighttime
Drinkin’ night into daytime
If you drink theer once, you’ll never be the same again
I’m goin’ for me stag-do and I’m gonna get stewed
I’m gonna get art of me mind
If end up skint then I’ll allus remember
That we had uzselves a reight good time
And I’m gonna drink all the beer they’ve got
‘cos that’s the only thing that’s gonna hit the spot
Let me shart art for a pint just to wash darn ev’ry shot
In Viva Skeg-Vegas, Viva Skeg-Vegas, Viva Skeg-Vegas,
Viva, viva Skeg-Vegas
Portaloo
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
Oh my, the portaloos are absolutely mingin’
Oh yeah, but I have had three days of holdin’ it all in
And I know not pooing is bad for your health
But it’s better than shitting yourself
Portaloo, the festival food’s med me bum so sore
Portaloo, I’ve queued up and now I can’t shut the door
Portaloo, no amount of wet-wipes are gonna do
Portaloo, like Russian Roulette, I’m not trying you
Woah woah woah woah portaloo
There’s no way I’m facing the portaloo
Oh my, I tried to block the smell but it was stronger
Oh God, there’s no loo-roll, there’s no lights or santiser for me hands
It was dark, I was drunk, now I’m blue
‘cos I’ve piddled all over me shoes
Portaloo, no way to predict what you’ve got in store
Portaloo, what horrible things lurk behind your door?
Portaloo, I wish that yer contents were out of view
Portaloo, thought it was a fart, but I followed through
Woah woah woah woah portaloo
There’s no way I’m facing the portaloo
I hope this horrible feeling goes off
‘cos I’m desperate and I’m touching cloth
Portaloo, I’ve been defeated, you won the war
Portaloo, what dirty get’s done one on the floor
Portaloo, the smell inside here, it’s like Chester Zoo
Portaloo, having to squat for a Number 2
Woah woah woah woah portaloo
Finally facing the portaloo
Woah woah woah woah portaloo
I’m never embracing the portaloo
Jehovah’s To Call
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
Here we stand in the hall,
Pretending we’re not there at all
They ring the bell, look for a light,
But no bugger’s opening up tonight
They don’t waste no time at all;
Foot in t’door as you answer their call
They’ll come to you as to us all,
We’re just waiting for the Jehovah’s to call
From morning light, through every day
A bunch of people could be calling your way
Maybe the postie, or Avon lady,
The window-cleaner or the bloke from next door
They’ll knock you up just to explain
And hope their magazines will cover it all
With their message to proclaim
You know it’s time for the Jehovah’s to call
They really dun’t like knock-knock jokes
‘cos they claim that it’s The Truth
So dun’t slam your door when they come calling,
Just invite ‘em for a brew
‘cos I’ll tell thee nar they wain’t know what to do!
They can bray reight loud ‘til their hands are sore
What the bloody hell they doin’ it for?
With half a chance, they’ll leave The Watchtower
Like Larry Grayson, I’ll be shutting that door
What’re we behind the sofa for?
We’re on the inside, they’re behind the front door
You’ve just got time to say your prayers
While you’re waiting for the Jehovah’s to call
Eaten Alive
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
Well you can tell by the way I can hardly walk
I’ve been bitten theer, no time to talk
I’ve got prickly heat and I’m feeling warm
I’ve been dined on by a chuffin’ swarm
I’m not alright, I’m not okay
A tube of cream wain’t save the day
At least you can start to understand
Why I’m looking like the Elephant Man
Whenever I’m on holiday, in the night
I’m allus getting eaten alive, eaten alive
Feel the buggers biting me
In places that they shouldn’t be
Been eaten alive, eaten alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, eaten alive, eaten alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, eaten alive
I’ve been bitten so low that my voice is high
And if it swells much more I’m gonna cry
Me plums are the size of the south of France
I’ve got no ants in me pants, but I’ve got to dance
They itch like mad, I’m reight pigged off
They even hurt when I try to cough
I asked the doctor t’other day
“Can you leave the swelling, but tek the pain away?”
Whenever I’m on holiday, in the night
I’m allus getting eaten alive, eaten alive
Feel the buggers biting me
In places that they shouldn’t be
Eaten alive, eaten alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, eaten alive, eaten alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, eaten alive
(Odd looks from the people on the dance-floor)
The swelling’s going nowhere,
Somebody help me, somebody help me
The mossies think I’m dinner,
Somebody help me, somebody help me
I’ve been eaten alive
Won’t be repelled, won’t let me be
I try to hide but they still find me
I’ve sprayed the room, I’ve sprayed me skin
I’ve got a net ararnd me keks but they still get in
Whenever I’m on holiday, in the night
I’m allus getting eaten alive, eaten alive
Feel the buggers biting me
In places that they shouldn’t be
Eaten alive, eaten alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, eaten alive, eaten alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, eaten alive
‘elp!
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican)
‘elp! I need somebody
‘elp! Christ, send me anybody
‘elp! you know I need someone
‘elp!
When I was art rarnd Tarn at neet last Saturday
I never thought that I’d be needing ‘elp in anyway
My poor old liver cried from the pain that it endured
I got so blind, I were art o’ me mind,
And I fell darn on the floor
‘elp me if you can ‘cos I’ve fallen darn
But the drunks art on the street just walked ararnd
Just ‘elp me get my feet back on the ground
Won’t you please, please ‘elp me
And how the Tarn has changed in oh so many ways
I was helped by some pensioners
Who’d been on Songs of Praise
They said we’re street pastors,
We’ll pray for where you’re sore
They helped me up, and give me watter to sup
And they ‘elped me off of the floor
They’ll ‘elp you if they can when you’re face darn
In a puddle of your own sick when you’re in t’Tarn
They may look like the audience members on Countdown
But in Jesus’ name will help thee
When I went art last neet I saw ‘em yet again
They gave some flip-flops to a lass who was in pain
Her high-heeled shoes had left her feet in agony
She couldn’t walk, but they sat and talked
About God’s guarantee
That He’ll help you if He can when you fall darn
Or even if you’ve gone berserk and had ten rounds
Bringing prayers and watter to the drunks in Tarn
And they’ll lend a hand to ‘elp thee, ‘elp thee, ‘elp thee
The Fight For The Tea Rooms
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
Lining up, out on the street
It teks some time to mek advances
Queued some distance
Christ I’m three streets away
Just a bloke with a throat that’s bone dry
Waste the day; nothing moves fast
I’ve got a passion for Earl Grey
Don’t lose your grip as the cream teas go past
You must fight for a table inside
It’s the queue for the Tea Rooms, it’s the thrill of the fight
Linin’ up for espressos, buns and trifles
And you’re waitin’ for Betty’s, you could wait until night
Whilst she’s rakin’ it in with the queue… for the Tea Rooms
Face to face, they beckon you in
You tell the waiter you’re hungry
Look darn the menu and you notice the price
How the hell does this business survive?
It’s the queue for the Tea Rooms, it’s the thrill of the fight
Linin’ up for espressos, buns and trifles
And you’re waitin’ for Betty’s, you could wait until night
Whilst she’s rakin’ it in with the queue… for the Tea Rooms
The anger’s rising up, you could blow your top
A tenner spent on a cuppa
You’ve gone the distance, now you’re calling the shots
No posh nosh, I’ve a will to imbibe
I want four pints of Stella and a plate of pork pies
I want fish and chips with mushy peas and gravy
And I dun’t want yer bun tray and yer doilies are shite
Stick it right up yer arse with the queue… for your tea rooms
The Lady In Greggs
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
I’ve nivver seen your baps
Look as lovely as they did tonight
They looked tasty, wholemeal and white
I’ve nivver known a lass
Who really knew the way to a man’s heart
A gorgeous muffin and a good lookin’ tart
And I have never seen quite a dressing
As the stuff you’re packing into that baguette
You’ve got me in a sweat
The Lady in Greggs, she meks pasties for me through the week
And when she meks sausage rolls I forget how to speak
She’s really got technique
And I can’t resist her steak bakes on the side
I’ll nivver forget the super snap that she supplied
Nivver had a BLT taste as gorgeous as it did tonight
Tonsils tingling with savo’ry delight, and smokey bacon
I’ve nivver seen a chocolate éclair
With such a creamy inside
And then I turn to you and smile
‘cos it teks me breath away
And I’ve nivver had such a feeling
The feeling that I’m well and truly stuffed,
But I’m satisfied
The Lady in Greggs, she meks pasties for me through the week
And with muffins so moist, my knees just go weak
They really are unique
And I am so sure, her goods they won’t turn stale
I’ll nivver forget the gorgeous grub she’d got on sale
(Alan Lost His Wig On) Route 66
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White)
When Alan went to conquer the US
He took the highway, which was meant to be the best
But lost his wig on route sixty-six.
In a campervan, he set off from Frisco Bay
More than two thousand miles all the way.
He lost his wig on Route Sixty-Six.
Well he stopped off in Jackson to get him some action
No need for hairspray… some bugger pinched his toupee
So he spent the next fortneet looking art for his thatch
He wandered so wigless, looking for a witness
Who may have seen the rug-rustling smugglers…
It’s a crime, only a lowlife could commit
And without it, Alan wasn’t looking so hip
They pinched his wig on Route Sixty-Six.
He then asked the police if they’d found his hairpiece
But they couldn’t release the names of the hair thieves
The Chief said to Alan, “We’ll get the force on the case
From Vegas to Reno, we’ll ask if they’ve seen owt
We’ll check every rest room from San Bernadino”
And with that, the wig hunt was underway
There were SWAT teams and patrol cars all the way
Tracking darn his wig on Route Sixty-Six
The cops stopped a trucker who wasn’t a looker
But when they looked nearer it all became clearer
He was bald as a duck egg
And was wearing Alan’s rug on top
Trying to cross the border, he was really out of order
They slammed on the cuffs and took him off to prison
And with that, the wig-hunt was at an end
Alan reunited with his long lost friend
They found his wig on Route Sixty-Six
Queasy
(Lyrics: Scott Doonican)
It’s really not funny, you know I can’t stand the pain
I had a rough neet on the Cointreau
I supped the Stella and t’Guinness darn like a drain
Should’ve left that pint of Pernod
That’s why I’m queasy
Queasy on Sunday morning
I’m feelin’ queasy
Queasy on Sunday morning
Why on Earth did I polish-off all of that garlic bread
I woke up wi’ me face darn in t’toilet
No Alka-Seltzer’s gonna fix my throbbing head
It’s like a barrelful of brokken biscuits
That’s why I’m queasy
Queasy on Sunday morning
I’m feelin’ queasy
Queasy on Sunday morning
Can’t face owt that’s fried, oooh me insides
I wanna be left alone until I feel alright
I need a big cup o’ tea, yeah that’ll do me
That’s why I’m queasy
Queasy on Sunday morning
I’m feelin’ queasy
Queasy on Sunday morning
