GUEST,Les from Hull at work Byker Hill: background info anyone? (147* d) Lyr Add: BYKER HILL (parody) 01 Dec 00


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.
