‘Cos we come from Barnsley, Barnsley, Barnsley
‘Cos it’s Tarn, and we’re proud of it, we come from Barnsley

‘Cos it’s Tarn, and we’re proud of it, we come from Barnsley

Yes consistently, ‘tently, ‘tently
Yes the beer’s been crap in all of them, yes consistently
Alan: Now in Barnsley there were more pubs, within a square mile
