The Lyrics
(Disclaimer:- it's just a comedy name - my wife & I'd like to state, there's no offence/confusion intended...that I'm NOT one of "them"!)
Northern man
Ee by 'eck, by gum
Grim up north
By thunder, it's glum
Northern change
From the Watford Gap
Ferret, whippet
& flat cloth cap
Northern man
Cotton mills &
Coal mining pits
Outside toilets
For t' little shats
Northern man
I thought those
days had passed
Still left leanin'
& grammar's lackin'
How long? How long? How?
Northern man
Ee by 'eck, by gum
Grim up north
By thunder, it's glum
Northern change
From the Watford Gap
Ferret, whippet
& flat cloth cap
Northern man
Suppin' ale
from a Newcastle Brown
Even snow won't get your
Striped shirt on
Sayin' "grass"
like "gas", well
What a farce
Still left leanin'
& grammar's lackin'
How long? How long? How?
Ee by 'eck, by gum
Grim up north
By thunder, it's glum
Northern change
From the Watford Gap
Ferret, whippet
& flat cloth cap
Northern man
Cotton mills &
Coal mining pits
Outside toilets
For t' little shats
Northern man
I thought those
days had passed
Still left leanin'
& grammar's lackin'
How long? How long? How?
Northern man
Ee by 'eck, by gum
Grim up north
By thunder, it's glum
Northern change
From the Watford Gap
Ferret, whippet
& flat cloth cap
Northern man
Suppin' ale
from a Newcastle Brown
Even snow won't get your
Striped shirt on
Sayin' "grass"
like "gas", well
What a farce
Still left leanin'
& grammar's lackin'
How long? How long? How?
(16.5.20) Since 2018, the UK music buying public have made their Xmas #1 a 5th consecutive parody (now a record, surpassing the Beatles). Often, a new artist can announce their arrival with a particularly good cover, made uniquely their own. I'm no singer nor musician, so if you can perform this (or any of mine), please send me a version & lots of royalties!
