Off we went to sing,
Even better off to the pub,
To the pub we went to sing,
Not just any songs but sea shanties.
I walked to the bar and ordered drinks,
What should I have?
The lady behind the bar helped
And I decided to have a pint,
A pint of mild.
That took me back,
Back to my younger days
When I drank mild every night,
Every night at my local.
She pulled the pint,
And even better
She poured it into a mug,
A pint mug with a handle.
Again this took me back
When mugs were the norm.
I had a sip and there I was
Back in the pub of my youth
Enjoying a good pint with friends,
Friends of many years ago.
Such wonderful times remembered
And all because of this lady,
This lady who served me a pint,
A pint of mild.
