When the pubs were full. She’d sing her song
of relationships and how they went wrong
The men she kept meeting, were usually bad
and ended up always making her sad
The time went by and nothing changed
ups and downs and things pre arranged
her life was about the night
But she never ever gave up the fight.
Barmaids and Beermats, forever busy and full of joy
She poured the pints and rarely found her special boy
The beer still flowed, and the whisky ran dry
but she was never lucky to find the right guy
When the beer bells rang, you would hear her cheer,
Talk as you Walk, and drink up that beer
The lights went dark and the voices faded
She could hear her heartbeat but the sound was jaded
Barmaids and Beermats, forever busy and full of joy
She poured the pints and rarely found her special boy
The beer still flowed, and the whisky ran dry
but she was never lucky to find the right guy
As she got home, the boys would be waiting
for the mum they adored, her tired feet beating
They would sit down together in front of the telly
And cuddle down with food in their bellies
Barmaids and Beermats, forever busy and full of joy
She poured the pints and rarely found her special boy
The beer still flowed, and the whisky ran dry
but she was never lucky to find the right guy
The songs would play, the boys would sing
Trying to help her forget the sad things
She kept on going, doing it all for them
And made a choice that she did not need men
Barmaids and Beermats, forever busy and full of joy
She poured the pints and rarely found her special boy
The beer still flowed, and the whisky ran dry
but she was never lucky to find the right guy
She always went through trouble and strife
but her boys were the real loves of her life!
