Pub Crawl by Mystic Colossus
Been awhile since I’ve been with my pals
Gotta get some drinks in
Pretty sure that I don’t like drinkin’
But it’s what we do
Start at the pub for a burger and a pint
And a round of singing
End up at home with a foggy memory
And a headache, too
We goin’ on a pub crawl
Chips and lager
Don’t forget the water
Gotta stay hydrated
Pub crawl
Try some karaoke
Try not to be mopey
Try not to look inebriated
Pub crawl
Chips and lager
Don’t forget the water
Gotta stay hydrated
Pub crawl
Fail at karaoke
Talking kinda dopey
Try not to act intoxicated

Re: Pub Crawl
Pub Crawl
The Mellfire Trifecta
I’ve got a classic novel in my parka
I’m finished work and searching for the bar
Four times a year we get our stuff together
And celebrate the beating of our hearts
The four of us staring down our retirements
Colleagues from two decades ago
Still got kids and problems and all of our stories
We’re catching up, or maybe putting on a show
Chorus
Our pact is to our pub crawl, and just a few beers
One pub at a time, for all of these years
Slower and slower, we arrive for this meal
But we always get here, cos we’re dead set on this deal
Two of us show more delight when hurling the insults
Two get more sarcastic every time
Staying on your guard at all times is recommended
‘Cause sneak attacks are surely coming from behind
Chorus
Our pact is to our pub crawl, and just a few beers
One pub at a time, for all of these years
Slower and slower, we arrive for this meal
But we always get here, cos we’re dead set on this deal
Solo
This does not move forward if someone is occupied
It can only be a quartet or a bust
Never mind that no one is right ‘round the corner
We travel in and travel out because…..

Pub Crawl—JEB
Took myself to a pub last night, trying to prove that I’m really alright
I sang and danced my night away, hoping they’d let me come back and play
But one small slip made it clear, they didn’t really want me here
So off I went to another joint where the songs I wrote were straight to the point
A pub crawl really ain’t my thing but I thought it would be okay if I could sing
Sometimes I can and I set myself free late at night when I get to be me
I wouldn’t stand for not being seen, for not doing something that sets me free
Singing and dancing are always a blast, just sometimes the music don’t last
That’s what happened late last night…the music stopped and I lost my sight
I took a chance and sang my song…turns out that was maybe wrong
A pub crawl really ain’t my thing, but I thought it would be okay if I could sing
Sometimes I can and I set myself free late at night when I get to be me
When the night winds down and folks are heading home
I’ll carry back the memories and write a little tune
Another night will come and I’ll go a different way
Who says a pub crawl ain’t the time to have my say
Repeat Chorus

Re: Pub Crawl
Saturday
Late afternoon
I got a ride I'll be
There soon
You don't write
And you don't call
I gotta find you in town at the
Pub crawl
Things I say
I don't mean
I blow hot and cold but never
In between
I say I'm right
When I know I'm not
And all the words I should have said but I
Forgot
Wandering
From bar to bar
Hoping I find the one where
You are
It's just hope
It don't make sense
I can't even mount a
Defense
Things I say
I don't mean
I blow hot and cold but never
In between
I say I'm right
When I know I'm not
And all the words I should have said but I
Forgot
I forgot I forgot
Yeah that's really all I got
I know that you
Deserve more than the best that I could do
Yeah you
Deserve more than the best that I could do
The best that I could do
Saturday
Starting to snow
Wondering
If I was you where would
I go
I'll be out
Until last call
I've gotta find you in town at the
Pub crawl
