lyrics

while Graham Graham figures out
just how the song is going to roll
his super hero alter ego
stops the taxman going rogue
the master of the songs, JC
calls order to us all
novice and initiate
equal and enthralled

so take a drink and sing with me
celebrate their memory
raise your glass and lift your voice
conjure up the spirit of those good ole boys

we’re all touched and granted audience
with the beatific muse
join voices with the celebrants
ghosts of forgotten tunes
as each heartsong sung is captured
by the all-seeing prismic eye
their moment freed forever
and Viceversa caught in time

so take a drink and sing with me
and celebrate their memory
raise your glass and lift your voice
conjure up the spirit of those good ole boys

in the jug band memorial bar
in the jug band memorial bar
in the jug band memorial bar
bring your songs along
to the jug band memorial bar

so let us liberate libation
honour each that connie pulled
offer meritorious citation
to the Lion and Werewolf
let laughter ring and tears sting
it’s crooked weather with dogs in space
and Corona borrowed an Italian thing
to watch the smile on Holly’s face

so take a drink and sing with me
celebrate their memory
raise your glass and lift your voice
conjure up the spirit of those good ole boys

in the jug band memorial bar
in the jug band memorial bar
in the jug band memorial bar
bring your songs along
to the jug band memorial bar
