lyrics

This is an ode to the gangs of Grimsby,
In the days of old,
When Double Diamond was cheap & SeudeHeads were bold.

The Park Street Mafia had them in their grip,
A gentleman’s umbrella with a sharpened tip…
Marmalising Gypoes near Cleethorpes Borough Tip.

A continuation of the tradition of Richard Coeur de Leon,
A spontaneous recreation of some of the more interesting situations
In the history of the dear sweet English nation.

Scunthorpe Hell’s Angels away…a gathering near the Ritz Café
Angry machines by B.S.A.
Oh SuedeHead in your white butchers coat
Your gonna need some Daz or some Persil after today.

A joyous feeling of exultation near Cleethorpes railway station,
A Nietzschean sense of glee! Oh for a Wolf-Cub SuedeHead like me…
This was a boot boy symphony.
