Let's have some Floyd ...



My friend Andy was in Glasgow
Jay said - 

He went to the pub with his host - they both walked down the street drinking from cans of beer so they'd fit in - 

In the distance, Andy saw a building on some waste ground - it had a huge neon sign, all lit up, saying Beer Shop - 

Andy thought - that can't be the pub - but it was - 

Inside, there were walls of beer cans, from the floor to the ceiling - 

The landlord had a huge belly - but he was very knowledgeable about beer - he was a beer scholar - 

They talked about London ales - 

Then one of the regulars called out - let's have some Floyd - 

Andy thought they'd put on some Pink Floyd, Ummagumma perhaps - 

But in a cupboard, which the landlord opened, in a back room, there was an old TV and a VHS video recorder and a pile of video cassettes - 

He put in a cassette - and it was a Keith Floyd cooking special - 

There was the boozy chef of the 1970's - 

Everyone sat down to watch - 

It was a secret club - 

They all sat down to watch with Silkie Stout in their hands -
