Grimsby |
| As I lay dreaming in my bed |
| Across the great divide |
| I thought I heard the trawler boats |
| Returning on the tide |
| And in this vision of my home |
| The shingle beach did ring |
| I saw the lights along the pier |
| That made my senses sing |
| Oh oh Grimsby, a thousand delights |
| Couldn’t match the sweet sights |
| Of my Grimsby |
| Oh England you’re fair |
| But there’s none to compare with my Grimsby |
| Through nights of mad youth |
| I have loved every sluice in your harbour |
| And in your wild sands from boyhood to man |
| Strangers have found themselves fathers |
| Take me back you rustic town |
| I miss your magic charm |
| Just to smell your candy floss |
| Or drink in the Skinners Arms |
| No Cordon Bleu can match the beauty |
| Of your pies and peas |
| I want to ride your fairground |
| Take air along the quay |
