Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 24, 2016

Oh, goody. A song to which Andy thinks he can relate.

You can be immersed in each other for life……..

A bountiful Sunday to all.-—————I hope that everyone is doing well. I am concerned about those getting all the snow and flooding. -—————UPDATE: My left eye continues to get better although there is still some inflammation in it.-—————My girlfriend and I are spending a lot of time together. (We get along so well that it’s almost scary). If our love continues to grow we may get married later this year.-—————Prayers for all my friends. Have a peaceful day.

Guitar Bob finally gets some love from Andy. -——————————————————-In Heaven there is no beerThat’s why we drink it hereAnd when we are gone from hereOur friends, they’ll be drinking all the beer.

What is the malted liquor,What gets you drunker quicker,What comes in bottles or in cans (beer)Can’t get enough of it,(beer)How we really love it,(beer)Makes me think I’m a man,(beer)I can kiss and hug it,(beer)But I’d rather chug it,(beer)Fill my belly up to here,(beer)Golly I adore it,(beer)Come on dammit pour it,Do it for me,Brew it for me,Feed it to me,Speed it to me.(beer).The most wonderful drink in the world.Hooray

Beer is not just for breakfast, anymore.

I am the man, the very fat manThat waters the workers’ beerI am the man, the very fat manThat waters the workers’ beerAnd what do I care if it makes them illIf it makes them terribly queerI’ve a car, a yacht, and an aeroplane,And I waters the workers’ beer.

Now when I waters the workers’ beerI puts in strychnineSome methylated spiritsAnd a can of keroseneAh, but such a brew so terribly strongIt would make them terribly queerSo I reaches my hand for the watering-canAnd I waters the workers’ beer:

Chorus:

Now a drop of good beer is good for a manWhen he’s tired, thirsty and hotAnd I sometimes have a drop myselfFrom a very special potFor a strong and healthy working classIs the thing that I most fearSo I reaches my hand for the watering-canAnd I waters the workers’ beer:

Chorus:

Now ladies fair, beyond compareBe you maiden or wifeSpare a thought for such a manWho leads such a lonely lifeFor the water rates are frightfully high,And the meths is terribly dearAnd there ain’t the profit there used to beIn watering the workers’ beer:

andy and beer… mated for life….

I think that I shall never hear,A poem as lovely as a beer.That yellow stuff with foam on top,That you can drink until you drop.Poems are made by fools I fear,But only Schlitz can make a beer.

With apologies to Kilmer.

I hope Bob doesn’t sing “All You Need Is Love”

That’s one of my favourite songs by The Beatles and I don’t want it ruined.Wow, I’m nearly as bad as Andy!

I like Beer.It makes me a very good fellow.I like Beer.It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow.

@Linguist, beviek and rekam: Thank you my friends. Have a tranquil night.

I got the lyrics wrong above. Should be jolly good fellow. Getting old I guess, especially since I remember when that song was new.
