The Hair of the Dog That Bit Me

In 'The Glen' on an international day

Heard a girl with an American accent say

""Shame that you don't serve S.A.

What else can you git me?""

She got a pint of bitter instead

Turned at looked at me and said

""I'm trying to cure my aching head

With the hair of the dog that bit me""

She said""I had a heavy session last night

Then me and my boyfiend had a fight

Now he's gone the little shite

But I'm glad the bastard quit me""

I said""Last night I got pissed in Penarth""

The boys in the corner sang 'Sosban Fach'

We agreed there was time for another swift half

Of the hair of the dog that bit me

Too ra ra Too rai eh

Tomorrow will be better than yesterday

With a pint to help me on my way

Of the hair of the dog that bit me

We kept in touch and got along fine

We sent each other Valentines

She even knitted me a jumper one time

But took it back when it didn't fit me

We often went to the pub with each other

And the next day we would have to recover

So we'd go back again and order another

Of the hair of the dog that bit me

Too ra ra Too rai eh

Tomorrow will be better than yesterday

With a pint to help me on my way

Of the hair of the dog that bit me

One night as we walked along the coast

She said I'd exorcised the ghost

Of the man that she'd once loved the most

And then it finally hit me

She didn't say who she preferred

But left it for me to infer

The only thing I was for her

Was the hair of the dog that bit me

She buggered off not long after that

She just walked out and left me flat

I felt like I'd been such a prat

For letting her bullshit me

I went off to drown my sorrows

Drinking like there was no tommorow

For weeks as in self pity I'd wallow

In the hair of the dog that bit me
