LET'S
HAVE A TIDDLEY AT THE MILK BAR
by
Noel Gay
performed by Nellie Wallace.
Milk bars.... I'd like to know just how they grow
and why we see them everywhere,
Milk bars.... is it the dairies or the fairies who decide
to put them there?
Milk bars.... I used to think it was a drink for little kids
of two or three,
Milk bars.... but nowadays the only's the daily way for you
and me.
Let's have a tiddley at the milk bar
Let's make a night of it tonight,
Let's have a tiddley at the milk bar
Let's paint the town a lover-ly white
You'll buy half a pint, I'll buy half a pint
We'll try to drink a pint somehow
So let's have a tiddley at the milk bar
And drink to the dear ol' cow.
Milk bars.... they sell the liquor that the vicar can't complain
about, at all,
Milk bars.... you go to bed instead of sleeping in the hall,
Milk bars.... I wish they'd been upon the scene when dear
old father went astray,
Milk bars.... I don't suppose his ruddy nose would be the
same as it is today.
Let's have a tiddley at the milk bar
Let's make a night of it tonight,
Let's have a tiddley at the milk bar
Let's paint the town a lover-ly white
You'll buy half a pint, I'll buy half a pint
We'll try to drink a pint somehow
So let's have a tiddley at the milk bar
And drink to the dear ol' cow.
Spoken...
Ah! it's great... a glorious institution.
What do you do when you see an old friend?... you say,
"Come and 'ave one!"
Now you can take 'im by the arm an' say, "Come an' 'ave
a tiddley at the milk bar!"
Ha, ha!... and what's more, you can 'ave 'alf a dozen
and come out the same way you went in!... no muzzy 'ead,
no looking for a lamp-post that isn't there... |
So
let's have a tiddley at the milk bar
And drink to the dear ol' cow.
