The Lion Sleeps....

Sometimes, you come across a lovely, quiet, even sleepy pub, where even the indian-rope-trick candelabras can’t provide enough 'off the wall’ (or should that be off the ceiling) content for a blog.  When that happens you’ve got to think of something else....

lluminating rope trick...

...so join in with this impromptu version of a blog post for The Red Lion, Milford on Sea, to the tune of ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’...
...and if you need any help here's Jay Segal and The Tokens *- still belting it out...

In the village, the seaside village
The lion sleeps tonight
In the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight – ho, ho!

[Chorus]
Weeheeheehee, dee heeheeheehee, weeoh aweem away
(A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
(A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
(A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
(A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)

Milford on Sea - quiet seaside village...lion sleeping down by the big white van....(I know it’s not night...)

It’s in the Beer Guide, the CAMRA Beer Guide
Since nineteen ninety- nine
Quite a long time, the beer must be fine
The lion keeps it right - ho, ho!
[Chorus]

The Red Lion roars - quietly...

Try the house beer, the Red Lion best beer
Ringwood makes it - right?
If it’s alright, I’ll have the Wainwright,
I rather thought you might – ho, ho!
[Chorus]

 

Wainright - it's Golden

Hush my darling, don’t fear my darling
The Wainwright’s very good
Golden it’s said, with creamy tight head
They keep it as they should – ho, ho!
[Chorus]

Strongs of Romsey ...not still going strong..

It’s a Strongs pub, a can’t go wrong pub
What’s there not to like?
Locals like it, and diners like it,
So CAMRA must be right – ho, ho!
[Chorus]

It’s got a pool room, a really cool room
It’s in the horses stall
Watch the Saints team, they’re on the flat screen,
The darts board’s on the wall – ho, ho!
[Chorus]

Stuart and Jayne’s warm welcome - CAMRA listed since 1999

Martin’s been here, in May of last year
And so has Cathy Price
Stuart keeps good beer, and it is so clear
That Jayne, she keeps it nice – ho, ho!
[Chorus]

Will the CAMRA, the mighty CAMRA
Keep it in the Guide
Or could the Wash House, the tiny craft mouse
Give the lion a fright – ho, ho!
One last time - all together now....
[Outro]
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
(A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
(A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
*if you’re humming this tune all next week - I accept no responsibility...
