Shandy Man
(A tribute to the country blues guitar of Rev Gary Davis's 'Candyman' and Designated Drivers everywhere!)
Shandy Man
Stands at the bar
Shandy Man
Declines a jar
Shandy Man
He drives the car
There’s no-one we would rather have than
Good Old Shandy man.
Shandy Man
When the drinking starts
Has a plan
He’s a boring fart
He sits in the van
Never pulls the tarts
He can’t do what we all can
He’s tosser, Shandy Man.
Shandy Man
He takes the wheel
We put him through
A real ordeal
Three giggling drunks
Who stink like skunks
Slopping Baltis with a naan
Behind the Shandy Man.
He’s driven us to football and to rugby matches too
He’s taken us to Twickenham and carted us to Crewe
He’s chauffeured to bah mitzvahs and a soppy wedding do
He’s picked us up at nightclubs and a boozy barbecue
We’ve filled his car with traffic cones and once a cockatoo
He’s put up with our fighting and with cleaning up our spew
But at midnight we’re his biggest fan
He’s a hero – Shandy Man.
Shandy Man
Stands at the bar
Shandy Man
Declines a jar
Shandy Man
He drives the car
There’s no-one we would rather have than
Good Old Shandy man.

Ha! What a riot. I just love this. Made me laugh. I really needed this. Are you singing. Besides writing poetry you can sing.
I am envious.
Thanks for the great read and song.
