My little yellow handbag

My Little Yellow Handbag

 

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

 

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

The "little yellow handbag" was the soldiers nickname for Herford Brewery's handy pack during the cold war.
