12 Bar Blues

By Aneirin Menelaos


~Bar number one is the one I get drunk at~
~I keep an open tab at number two~
~The waitress at three wants to know me carnal~
~So I spend more time at four~

~I can tend bar at Five.... if I want too~
~They wont let me at number six~
~Number seven has a terrific stage~
~The eighth is best if your a mage~

~I've sung songs in the ninth one~
~I've only once been to ten~
~I always return to the eleventh on my list~
~When the twelve bar blues has got me down again~

~I got the twelve bar blues~
~Too many bars to choose~
~Where will I drink tonight~
~And get me feeling alright~

~ohhhhhhhhhhh~
~The Moon Tree can be greasy~
~The Frilly Collar a little sleasy~
~And the Dog and Duck is plainly dank~

~ohhhhhhhhhhh~
~The Dancing Kelpie, is slightly smelly~
~The Rompin' Romini, where fists are felling~
~And Mikona's Finest, of the highest rank~

~ohhhhhhhhhhh~
~The Leaping Stag Inn, is always busy~
~The Tipsy Wizard, is very quiet~
~and The Stone and Leaf, is rather swank~

~ohhhhhhhhhhh~
~The Canvas, I'm told is private~
~The Second Solace, is my eleventh~
~When the twelve bar blues has got me down again~

~I got the twelve bar blues~
~Too many bars to choose~
~Where will I drink tonight~
~And get me feeling alright~

~How many roads must a man walk down~
~T' find an affordable bar in this town~
~So hang some taxidermy up on the wall ..~
~hire a band and when its last call~
~the final round is on me~

~Don't you know I got the twelve bar blues~
~Too many bars to choose~
~Well I will sleep tonight~
~And get me feeling alright~
