There seems to be a problem people We seem to have been left behind Way back in the 1940's We should've seen the warning signs They don't start ‘til late in Paris The torch it burns through the night But over here in greener pastures We can't seem to get it right We won't stand for early hours We won't stand for closing time We'll have IPA or Flowers We'll even take some English wine Oh whereo my beero We're in the European Union And a USA satellite Thrown out on the streets too early They're not gonna stop the fight They promised us 24 hours Yet another lie on the list Here's a message to those in power It's still a struggle to get pissed Oh whereo my beero We won't stand for early hours We won't stand for closing time
