TONY SPILLED THE BEER
(Watching life in a pub)

No one here
Had ever spilled the beer.
They carried it in glasses,
They carried it in jugs,
They carried it in pitchers,
They held it in the air.
But no one here had ever
Had ever spilled the beer.
And Tony he just sat there
He sat there at the bar,
And Tony spilled the beer there.
It traveled down the bar,
And across the way,
Nacho dammed the flow.
And then it had nowhere to go
The bar is dry now,
But Tony holds his head low.
Tony spilled the beer.
And Tony spilled the beer,
And Tony spilled the beer.
No one here had ever spilled the beer,
But Tony spilled the beer.
