about

A song about the lockdown summer of 2020, nice weather, sitting in the sun relaxing... no-one bothering you... bliss.

lyrics

Drinking lager, Drinking lager….
Drinking lager, Drinking lager….

If I was one to carry on
All day with folk, til evening’s gone
I might find days just sitting quite a chore
A dreary bore
If I was such to crave the touch
Of humankind so very much
I might find weeks of solitude a strain
A lonely pain

There's no one annoying me
It's some kind of bliss

Sitting in my back yard drinking lager
Cooking on the barbecue hamburgers
Rubbing on my neck the factor 50
On the hifi Frank Sinatra
Oh! What a day
The hours here don't go astray
Whilst whiling away

If I was one of those sociable types, I might
Sit alone with grumps and gripes
But there's no finer thing than the company
Of yourself, drink to your health
If I had lots of things to say
To other folk, all through the day
It maybe then would grate these
Days of late, behind the gate

There's no one annoying me
It's some kind of bliss

Sitting in my back yard drinking lager
Cooking on the barbecue hamburgers
Rubbing on my neck the factor 50
On the hifi Frank Sinatra
Oh! What a day
The hours here don't go astray
Whilst whiling away

In this little garden
I have all my space, and
I love the sunny weather aye
Where I warm my face, and
It’s my favourite place, and
A smith of pith, I write my rhymes

There's no one annoying me
It's some kind of bliss

Sitting in my back yard drinking lager
Cooking on the barbecue hamburgers
Rubbing on my neck the factor 50
On the hifi Frank Sinatra
Oh! What a day
The hours here don't go astray
Whilst whiling away
