lyrics

A local pub hung an ad
They’ll have free beer tomorrow
when I returned the next day so glad
I only found a jug of sorrow

It was like a lying priest’s promise
Of eternal bliss up in heaven
If only you pay him and obey him
And avoid the deadly seven

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow he said,
Today you’ll just have to pay,
So get it through your thick Mick head,
And come back another day.

As I toed his tarnished brass rail
My thirst driving me quite mad
The barkeep’s cash in advance demand
Rendered me oh so sad

And when I pointed at the sign
He laughed right in my face
You’re too dumb to drink beer here
Get the fuck out of my place

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow he said,
Today you’ll just have to pay,
Did yer mammie drop you on your head,
Piss off he laughed his voice so gay.

The concept left me quite confused
Why on this day must I pay
The evil barkeep was too amused
As he told me be on my way

But kind sir, it’s free beer that I seek,
So, please will you answer me this,
Upon exactly what day of the week,
Shall I return to find my bliss?

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow he cried,
Can’t you read the damn sign,
So sad I sighed, your sign has lied,
This shall be no pub of mine.
