lyrics

Sitting in my lounge room going for a song,
I thought I heard a bevy of knocking at my door.
In my deepest hearts of hearts,
I knew what that swelling chorus meant.

Opening the door there were my friends,
Posies bunched up like a cabbage in the hallway.

And they said:

Let’s just go to the pub,
A healthy peal of laughter on our lips.
Let’s just go to the pub,
The late spring jacaranda and a beer.

Well met, well met, we’re as thick as thieves.
A continuous picnic in the midst of life.
Oh, word is to the blue gum, to the jasper,
And the cooktown orchid.

Making a beeline like old chestnuts,
We sang with a slight swing of the hips.

Which pub shall we go to?
Oh, lord, I thought you’d never ask!
Which pub shall we go to?
The long and short is:

Let’s just go to the pub,
A healthy peal of laughter on our lips.
Let’s just go to the pub,
The late spring jacaranda and a beer.
