WIGAN PIER.

I've heard it said that there's a pier in Wigan Town somewhere,
George Formby said, "It led to t'sands, on stilts up in the air."
Some folk said that, "It's a myth," but I don't think that they're right,
'Cause I once fell off that Wigan Pier, when staggering home one night.

Chorus:-
'Cause it's long and it's strong and it leads nowhere,
You can see it when the weather is clear.
If you feel inclined and you've got the time,
You can spend a lovely day on Wigan Pier.


I've taken part in catching tripe, in waters crystal clean,
You hang some 'Mint Balls' on a string and hope that they are seen.
The tripe they come and swim around, all shining bright and new,
And just to show where they've come from, there's Wigan written all through.

--Chorus--

One day the Q.E.2. came sailing up to Wigan Pier,
The bunting flew and the brass band played, to show the Queen we're here,
She stepped ashore to wondrous cheers and started to recall,
I've seen some piers in all my years, but this pier beats them all.

--Chorus--

So if your asked if there's a Pier in Wigan Town somewhere,
Don't laugh it off like others do, look round you'll see it there.
It's spick and span and painted white, it's standing out a mile,
But if you're asked just where it is, don't say owt just smile.

--Chorus--
