Lavigne, Avril - I wish I was back in Liverpool

Chorus:

I wish I was back in Liverpool

Liverpool town where I was born

Where there ain't no trees, no scented greens

No fields of waving corn

But there's lots of girls with peroxide pearls

And the Black and Tan flows free

There's six in a bed by the old pier head

And it's Liverpool town for me


'Tis seven long years since I wandered away

To sail the wide world o'er

Me very first trip on an old steamship

That was bound for Baltimore

I was seven days sick and I just couldn't stick

That bubbling up and down

So I told them Jack you'd better turn back

For dear old Liverpool town


Chorus

We dug the Mersey tunnel, boys, way back in '33

Dug a hole in the ground until we found

An old cold wall ye see

Then the foreman cried:

'Come on outside the roof is falling down'

Well I'm telling you Jack, we all swam back

To dear old Liverpool town


Chorus,

Well, there's every race and colour of face

There's every kind of name

But the pigeons on the pier head they treat you all the same

And if you walk above to Parliament Street

You'd see faces black and brown

And I have also seen the orange and green

In dear old Liverpool town
