My name is Tom I own a queensland pub
thereâs bundy on the shelf and the ice is in the tub
no lemon lime and bitters just bundy and fourex
if they wreck the joint tonight iâll ring their flamin necks
There are so many songs about ringers out hell raisen
but what about the bloke who pulls the beers
when theyâve all gone Iâm still out wipen tables
when theyâve all hit the hay while iâm still here
iâm the bloke you never hear of servin beer
I give change to the fellas if they want a game of pool
got pies in the oven mate when the weathers gettinâ cool
if the boys get rowdy and decide to have a scrap
I just chuck em out the door and i go back to the taps
my name is tom Iâm a diplomatic thinker
I can listen to the woes of a broken hearted drinker
when the boys come in i say how ya goinâ tonight
they get a bit wild but theyâre young and alright
they tell me how to break a horse and how to brand a steer
I take their dough and listen cause that is why iâm here
they tell me bout musterin but they donât seem to know
that tom their local publican did that years ago
when theyâve all hit the hay while Iâm still here
Iâm the bloke you never hear of servin beer
