Dog & Bell

I went drinking down
At the Dog & Bell
A South London boozer
I do know rather well
Just the kind of place to be spending
A drinking spell

So many of my friends
Staring at some hell
So I took them down to get drunk
At the Dog & Bell
Don't you worry man this landlord
He knows the deal

Down at the Dog & Bell
Down at the Dog & Bell
Down at the Dog & Bell

I took my baby down
To the Dog & Bell
I said, "what do you want
They got every kind of beer for sale?"
And when we're good and drunk
I say, "I love you girl"

South of the river
Is where I lay my hat
My heart is always
Keeping a rolling tab
And if you see me fall of my chair
You know I'm back

Down at the Dog & Bell
Down at the Dog & Bell
Down at the Dog & Bell

I went drinking down
At the Dog & Bell
I threw my coin down deep
In the wishing well
We never heard the splash
We had drunk it dry
Oh well

I went drinking down
At the Dog & Bell
The finest little boozer
To spend some time and dwell
So join me in this song
And sing from your lungs
And yell

Down at the Dog & Bell
Down at the Dog & Bell
Down at the Dog & Bell
Down at the Dog & Bell
Down at the Dog & Bell
