The Pub With No Rick

 

Well each Friday we gather

And charge up our glass,

To celebrate freedom

The work week has passed,

But somehow it’s different

We can’t take a trick

As we drink at the bar

Of the pub with no Rick.

It’s a place that has pleasures

We’ve all come to know,

A place where the banter

And friendships do grow,

There’s a cultural banquet

From bourgeois to thick

Round the elegant bar

Of the pub with no Rick.

When the rugby was playing

The crowd was ten deep,

The beer flowed like fountains

And none of it cheap,

But oft�?times Rick countered

His shout was the trick

To win over the bar

Of the pub with no Rick.

I remember the first time

I came to this pub,

I was welcomed with smiles

A cold beer and good grub,

I’ve heard all the jokes

Some were funny, some sick

As I drank at the bar

Of the pub with no Rick.

Yes we’ve all come to know him

His pub and his beer,

His shirts are a legend

Though some think them queer,

Yet time has marched on

Rick’s passed on the stick

But we’ll still line the bar

Of the pub with no Rick.
