Its a long way to Sunny Medway - a drinkers lament

(Sung to the tune of "It's a long way to Tipperary")

After work in London A Kentish lad stopped one day,
Had a beer with his friends, the time he had was great,
Chatting to friends, eating snacks and drinking lots of beer,
'til Chris, he saw the time and he declared he was late

It's a long way to sunny Medway,
It's a long way to go,
It's a long long way to Sunny Medway,
To the sweetest wife I have,
Good-bye Prince of Wales,
Farewell The Three Stags,
It's a long, long way to sunny Medway
And I'm running quite late

Its a long way to sunny Medway,
It's a long way to go,
It's a long long way to Sunny Medway,
To the sweetest wife I have,
Good-bye Stella Artois,
Farewell Kronenberg,
It's a long long way to Sunny Medway,
And my wife'll be cross...

Chris, he sent a text to his anxious wife at home,
Saying if you don't receive this can you text and let me know,
If I make mistakes in spelling, please Miss Samantha dear,
Remember It's the phone that's drunk and not poor old me!

It's a long way to sunny Medway,
It's a long way to go,
It's a long long way to Sunny Medway,
To the sweetest wife I have,
Good bye Toni Flatly,
Farewell Caroline Bell,
It's a long long way to sunny Medway,
But my train's in five...

It's a long way to sunny Medway,
It's a long way to go,
It's a long long way to Sunny Medway,
To the sweetest wife I have,
Good bye Waterloo east,
Farewell London Bridge,
It's a long long way to sunny Medway
And I'm on the wrong train!
