VERSE 1:
G DLad it^Òs your duty to find you a lass
with child-bearing hips and a pink supple ass
G D C DAnd make her you wife and love her with love so true
G DNow, some rivers run high some rivers run low
When her river runs red then she starting her flow
G D C DAnd it^Òs called menstruation and heres what I means to you
Em CYou will notice her bloomers are spartie? At first
Stand back, her ovarian dams gonna burst
Em CSo don^Òt be afraid it’s a natural thing
G DJust wind up some cotton and give her some string
Put the old linens on top of the bed
C Dget out of the house and go down to the old pub
G D C D
instead.

She^Òll retain her water her breasts will be tender
C DAnd every third word that you say will offend her
G D C DGet out of the house and go down to the old pub instead
And she^Òll want to make love if you do you’re a fool
C DCause you^Òll only end up with a bloody ol’ tool
G D C DGet out of the house, down to the old pub instead
And she^Òll want you to sample the fruit of her loins
G DBut son it^Òll taste like some old rusty coins
Em CSo turn off the lights boy and take off your hat
And drop to your knees say a prayer to st pat
Then he^Òll give you the strength to get out of the bed

G D C D
instead.

Now the pub is the place where the lads are a meeting
G DWhen the moon^Òs full and the girls are a bleatin

The pub is the place when lady is raggin
CSo drink of your pint boys and thank your shamrocks
CThat as men folk we don^Òt have to bleed from our cocks
And that we can escape from the lady in red
C DAnd get out of the house and go down to the old pub
