“Publicans, chefs and bar staff across the country wide
Let’s all unite together and tell them from our side!
You come into our pubs, never wipe your feet and let your kids run riot
Our extensive menu just isn’t enough because your wife’s still on that diet!
Gluten free this and vegan that, we’re trying so hard to please
But there’s so many things, we’re trying our best, come on, we’re down on our knees!
“This is nothing special!” “It’s just pub grub!” “We expected real fine dining!”
Look, it says pub on the sign, what do you want, just shut up and stop whining!”
