lyrics

BOOZERS FROM THE BORO’
Chorus
Look at the boozers from the Boro’.
They’ve come on the bus to the town,
Down the coast to Whitby.
They’ve lots of sorrows to drown.

A sad place is the Boro’
With lots of industries gone,
With folk on the dole,
A place without soul,
So they’ve got to get out to have fun.
Chorus
You can tell the boozers from the Boro’,
There noses outshine the Sun.
As they saunter from one pub to t’ other,
They never break sweat in a run.
Chorus
The boozers from the Boro’ are cheery.
They are beery and noisy and bright
And sometimes, on the way home,
Well, they have a bit of a fight.
Chorus
Sometimes they frighten the lasses;
Sometimes they pee in the yards
But, there’s that much sorrow the Boro’
You cannot be too hard.
Chorus
