[Verse 1]

At Christmas time when I do go out

I like to have a point or two of stout

And despite the waste I never do get bored
Em D Am D7 G
I like to watch as my pint is poured
[Verse 2]

The bar man pours it part way up glass

He puts it down and lets some minutes pass

Then he goes away, you think you’d been ignored
Em D Am D7 G
Then he comes back and then your pint is poured
[Verse 3]

Just hold on this isn't finished yet
Em D
you have to wait until your pint is set

It goes from brown to black of its own accord
Em D Am D7 G
The perfect pint it has just been poured
[Background singers humming melody this verse is spoken]
G D G
And all this happens because you’ve been waiting
Em D
Waiting for a pint to be poured
C D Bm
Black, Brown creamy, dirty big head on it, no one knows
Em D Am D7 G
Made with love by someone you call your best friend in whole wide world
G D G
Till you wake up in the morning with a headache the size of Dublin
Em D
And you could fart for Ireland if it were an Olympic sport
C D Bm
Chistmas can be a good time by had by all
Em D Am D7 G
This comes to pass when your pint is poured
[Verse 4]

It’s a pint of cream and your patience should allow

And your thirst is quenched as the drink is lowered
