The Spinners — In My Liverpool Home

[Chorus] In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home We speak with an accent exceedingly rare Meet under a statue exceedingly bare And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare In my Liverpool home [Verse] I was born in Liverpool, down by the docks Me religion was Catholic, occupation hard knocks At stealing from lorries I was adept And under an overcoat each night we slept [Chorus] In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home We speak with an accent exceedingly rare Meet under a statue exceedingly bare And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare In my Liverpool home [Verse] Well when I grew up, I met Bridget McGann She says, "You're not much but I'm needin' a man" "'Cause I want sixteen kids and a house out in Speke" Well the spirit was willin' but the flesh it was weak [Chorus] In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home We speak with an accent exceedingly rare Meet under a statue exceedingly bare And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare In my Liverpool home [Instrumental] [Chorus] In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home We speak with an accent exceedingly rare Meet under a statue exceedingly bare And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare In my Liverpool home [Verse] Way back in the forties, the world had went mad Mister Hitler threw at us everything that he had When the smoke and the dust had all cleared from the air "Thank God", said my old man, "The pier head's still there!" [Chorus] In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home We speak with an accent exceedingly rare Meet under a statue exceedingly bare And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare In my Liverpool home
