HALF A PINT OF ALE (Sung by Gus Elen)	View some good "qhoth-quotes" and, God forbid! A Pub with NO BEER!
I hates the blokes that talks about The things that they like to drink. Such as tea, or coffee, cocoa or milk; Well, of such things I never think. Now, I'm plain in me habits, and plain in me food, And what I says is this. That a bloke that drinks such rubish with his meals, Well, I always gives him a miss.
Chorus: 'Cos fer breakfast I never thinks of havin' tea. I likes me half a pint of ale. And fer dinner I likes a little bit of meat, And half a pint of ale. Now fer tea I likes a little bit of fish, And half a pint of ale. But fer supper I likes a crust of bread and chees, And a pint and a half of ale.
Now this is how I looks at it, And I think you'll agree with me. I've never seen a bloke get drunk in me life On cocoa, coffee or tea. You'd think I'd pay one and eight a pound fer tea, But the thought makes me feel queer. When I think of what you get fer another half a crown; Such a pretty little barrel of beer!
Chorus: 'Cos fer breakfast I never thinks of havin' tea. I likes me half a pint of ale. And fer dinner I likes a little bit of meat, And half a pint of ale. Now fer tea I likes a little bit of fish, And half a pint of ale. But fer supper I likes a crust of bread and chees, And a gallon and a half of ale.
Now folks what drinks such stuff as that Are always looking pale. They've pains in their tummies and pains in their backs, But I never have pains with ale. I always feel happy and I always feel right, When I've had a glass or two, So why should I drink corfee or tea, When there's plenty of ale for two?
Chorus: 'Cos fer breakfast I never thinks of havin' tea. I likes me half a pint of ale. And fer dinner I likes a little bit of meat, And half a pint of ale. Now fer tea I likes a little bit of fish, And half a pint of ale. But fer supper I likes a crust of bread and chees, And a barrel and a half of ale.
