My Little Yellow Handbag (Herford Brewery’s Handy Pack)

By 16th October 2015December 9th, 2019No Comments

Oh my little yellow handbag
My friend from years ago
Just how much I miss you
I guess you’ll never know

You often travelled with me
And saved me from despair
Sometimes I was sad or lonely
And so glad that you were there

When I’d had one to many
You used to slur my talk
Then I’d have a couple more
And I’d do the Herfy walk

But now you’ve gone and left me
By the unkindest quirk of fate
And I am left here drinking
English beer I blooody hate

Now I have no other option
But to sit here on me bum
Watering down my little Coke
With a great big dash of rum

Though we are not together
The way we always used to be
I know you’ve many others
Who love you just like me.
