Brian O'Nolan / Pat Goode
You TubeWhen things go wrong but will not go right
Though you do the best you can
When life is black as the hour of night
Well the pint of plain is your only man
It's your only man, your only man
Oh the pint of plain is your only man
When money is tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran
When all you have is a heap of debt
Well the pint of plain is your only man
When health is bad and your heart feels strange
And your face is pale and wan
When the doctor says that you need a change
Well the pint of plain is your only man
When food is scarce and the larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan
When hunger grows but meals are rare
Well the pint of plain is your only man
In times of trouble and lousy strife
You still have a darling plan
You still can turn to a better life
Oh the pint of plain is your only man
