"Birkenhead Girl" lyrics

T Bone Burnett & Elvis Costello Lyrics

"Birkenhead Girl"

Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
She's the kind of girl you might chance to meet
If you go walking down Conway Street

Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
She's the kind of girl that makes you stop and stare
If you go walking round Hamilton Square

She drinks formaldehyde 'cos she comes from Kirby
She's quite disturbed 'cos she comes from Irby
Her perfume smells as if she comes from Meols
She's Eastham of the sun
And west of West Kirby

Overchurch, Woodchurch, Bebington, Bromborough, Rock Ferry, New Ferry, Tollemache Road

Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl

I'm a Clatterbridge boy that you see in Port Sunlight
My heart will be Greasby
If you leave me

Overchurch, Woodchurch, Bebington, Bromborough, Rock Ferry, New Ferry, Tollemache Road

Thingwall, Hoylake, Egremont, Pensby, Leasowe, Liscard, Ellesmere Port

She thinks she's the boss
'Cos she comes from the Cross
Rub-a-dub dub in the old "Blood Tub"

She's a Birkenhead Girl
She's a Birkenhead Girl
My Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl

She's the kind of girl that makes you want stop and stare
If you go walking round Hamilton Square

Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl
Birkenhead Girl

She's up in court and hard to defend
They're going to send her down with her big North End

Overchurch, Woodchurch, Bebington, Bromborough, Rock Ferry, New Ferry, Tollemache Road

Thingwall, Hoylake, Egremont, Pensby, Leasowe, Liscard, Ellesmere Port

Birkenhead
Birkenhead
Birkenhead
Birkenhead
