As I was cycling home from the weekly singy-playey thing we have in Hull (Yorkshire, England), singing to myself, I thought how nice Byker Hill went with a reggae rhythm. Well, I'd had a drink. So this is the reggae –type parody of Byker Hill that I've been doing for some time (complete with reggae melodeon). Byker Hill If I had another penny I would have another gill I would have the piper play The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill (Chorus) Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for evermore Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for evermore The calypso man and the Lilt man come They drink rum punch made from rum Then they dance and they have such fun With the rhythms of Bob Marley When Gary Linaker went to Spurs They gave him a number 9 shirt Expensive cars he's getting two or three He say 'Walkers' Crisps done well by me' Winston Charlton had a pig He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig All the way to Kingston Town To the rhythm of Bob Marley For non-UK 'catters, Gary Linaker is a former football (Real Football, that is) player who used to play for Tottenham Hotspurs (Spurs) who advertises Walkers' Crisps (a fried thinly sliced potato snack). A potato is … - oh, you probably have them. Les
