1998 – Jos, Paul, Cliff, Jim.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

1)
\nIt’s Monday night and off we go
\nTo Essex Town for another show
\nWe’ll meet some friends and have a brew
\nAnd join in chorus with the Jovial Crew.<\/p>\n

CHORUS:\u00a0\u00a0 It’s Monday night at the old Griswold Inn<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

2)
\nThere’s Cliff and Paul and Joseph, too
\nMake up the band called The Jovial Crew
\nBut friends stop by to play along
\nAnd join the crowd in a rousing song.<\/p>\n

3)
\nIt’s Fathom the Bowl<\/a>, and Jones’ Ale<\/a>
\nSongs of the sea and of the whale
\nThen quiet down for a ballad or two
\nThese are the songs of The Jovial Crew.<\/p>\n

4)
\nThe Old Dunn Cow<\/a> is one of the hits
\nWhile in Wild Rover, it’s “show us yer tits!”
\nThen some young lass feeling mighty tight
\nLifts up her shirt to the Crew’s delight!<\/p>\n

5)
\nNancy’s there behind the bar
\nShe pours the beers from near and far
\nWhile L.A. walks the bar room floor
\nIn search of someone in need of more.<\/p>\n

6)
\nNow Tim he lets his voice ring out
\nWith the help of a pint of Guinness stout
\nWhile Brian wails in some key unknown
\nTo the song he likes, called Rolling Home.<\/p>\n

7)
\nThe time slips by and it’s time to go
\nUntil next week for another show
\nWe’ll raise our glass and sing along
\nTo the final tune – The Going Home Song<\/a><\/p>\n
