about

What the Dickens! is a pub in Ebisu, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. It's my favorite pub. When I wanna go where everybody knows my name, it's there. Love that place.

120 bpm is hopefully fast enough.

lyrics

Expat living’s tough though you might be soaked in gin
Nuther language, nuther land, and you ain’t got many friends
Man I know a place where the beer it flows like lies
Know it might sound weird, but a few might sympathize

What the Dickens! Let’s go down ‘Bisu way
What the Dickens! Let’s set fire to the day
What the Dickens! Have a beer, or two, or five
What the Dickens! Makes me glad to be alive

There’s a lot of pubs that are really nice it’s true
Tokyo’s a place that likes its beer and sake too
Done a lot of ramblin’ since I landed years ago
Here’s a truth that even dumbass Johnny Snow would know

What the Dickens! Let’s go down ‘Bisu way
What the Dickens! Let’s set fire to the day
What the Dickens! Have a beer, or two, or five
What the Dickens! Makes me glad to be alive

The staff is mighty friendly, ol’ John Coyle he’s the tits
Yeah, Hiromi’s a little scary, but she deals with all us gits
Man they love their music, they let all us drunkards play
Made a lot of friends there, some left along the way
That’s the way it is though, when you live that expat life
Time goes on, like a song, bleeding edge of a knife
I’ll see you there, without a care, and bloodshot eyes
Listen to some music, enjoy some chips and pies

What the Dickens! Let’s go down ‘Bisu way
What the Dickens! Let’s set fire to the day
What the Dickens! Have a beer, or two, or five
What the Dickens! Makes me glad to be alive
