Bugger Me and Sod Off

Bugger Me

And Sod Off

Owned a pub by the sea

They hated the public

That means you and me

When entering their establishment

If they let you through the door

They would eye you up and down

Make you shrink to the floor

With some apology

If you ask them for a drink

They’ll stare in stony silence

Their eyes will not blink

Then words are spoken

Sounds in the air

Not directed to anyone

As though they didn’t care

‘Bugger me I heard a voice

someone wanting ale’

‘Sod of is what I say,

give them coffin and a nail’

They were both teetotallers

Having signed the pledge

They only took the pub on

Because it was on the water’s edge

They saw it as their duty

Being rude and unpleasant

To drive the evil spirits

From a nation of peasants
