I heard a song in a pub the other night, the lines go something like this: "Buy me a drink and I'll sing you a song, the more you buy me, the more I play on" Does anyone know the song title, singer/writer or lyrics? Thx in advance.

Did not have any luck with my usual technique of taking the lyrics quoted and googling on them. BUT - taking the phrase "Buy me a drink and I'll sing you a song" turned up some interesting non-related links.

Here's a bit of punk angst and millennial navel gazing on my own beloved Clement Street in San Francisco:

Google on "Buy me a drink" and we find the Virgin Prunes - an Irish band that doesn't get enough credit for what it accomplished:

"Buy me a drink, sing me a song" actually appears in Mary Jane's Last Dance - that necrophilia-tinged ballad from Tom Petty:

Fun, but not the answer you wanted. But the song you are looking for is now in on my list. If I do stumble across it or luck out and find the lyrics, I'll post back to here.
