Thread Name: Liverpool Lullaby (Stan Kelly)
Subject: RE: Liverpool Lullaby
It's not the first time that Cilla has changed the words. The original Stan Kelly lyrics contain the lines:
It's quite a struggle every day
Living on your father's pay
The bugger drinks it all away
And leaves me without any
Cilla's version changed it to "the blighter drinks it all away".
I can't imagine anyone on the streets of Liverpool using the term "blighter".
