When things go wrong and won't come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night,
A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN

When money's tight and hard to get,
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt,
A 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 you need a change,
A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN

When food is scarce and your larder bare,
And no rashers grease your pan,
When hunger grows as your meals are rare,
A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN

In time of struggle and lousy strife,
You have still got a darlint plan,
You can still turn to a brighter life,
A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN
