GUEST,colin Mudd( cloggy ) Lyr Req: Some Bugger from Yorkshire (B Wrigley) (24) RE: Lyr Req: Some Bugger from Yorkshire (B Wrigley) 14 Jan 16


I also wanted the lyrics and have had no luck finding them so i found a recording and have transposed them as near as I can excuse the spelling
Some bugger fro' yorkshire
by the Boulton bull frog Bernard Wrigley

Now the misses and me
like to roam far and wide
leaving routine and humdrum behind
we like to jet off to
some place we've not tried
where we aim to relax and unwind
in a four star hotel
over looking the bay
we stand gauping in
disbelief and dismay
cos we come down
for breakfast the very first day
and we meat wi'
some bugger fro' Yorkshire

now we try to avoid
all the popular spots
like the Costas Gibraltar and Greece
we go for exotic cos we love it lots
we like to find peace perfect peace
we once found a mountain in Spain
where they always have sunshine
and never have rain
but just as we stepped
off the ten o'clock train
we met wi some bugger
fro' Yorkshire

now we stayed in a monastery
high in Nepal
where the monks never laugh
and don't speak
we once sent a few days
in Buttlins an'all where
a morning feels more like a week
we've stayed in resorts
that are wacky and weird
where nobody's heard of
or so it appeared
until from the bar we hear
"Na'then its just as we feared
There's always some bugger fo' Yorksire

Hes alwys called Roland or Rodney or Rick
From Rippon or Robinhoods bay
Hes boring and dull
and he gets on your wick
cos he talks about cricket all day
you dodge him at breakfast
you give him the slip
you fancy a morning
well clear from his grip
then it turns out your booked on the same sodding trip
sitting next to some bugger fro' Yorkshire

now we signed up last summer
for camping in Create
with a couple from Wallsend on tine
we noticed the mustache
and rather large feet
but the partner assured us he's fine
then later that might
from the neighboring tent
we heard an old tale of a cricketing bent
hoe he took seven wickets
to win against Kent
hells bells its some bugger from Yorkshire

so if you've a fancy
to ramble or roam
fro' the African plains
to the Vatican dome
take my advice
try a fortnight at home and you wont meet some bugger fro' Yorkshire
