Exercises in Song 2008: #22

"Show me the way home!" he cried
To this weedy bloke from out of town,
Who muttered something noncommittal, sat by himself,
And jotted something down.

The old chap sang and swore
On the tables, chairs and floor;
But whenever I looked back at the snug:
That bloke was writing some more!
