NOTTINGHAM CITY
(With apologies to Guns and Roses)

Take me down To Nottingham City
Where the water's crap
But the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down To Nottingham City
Where the water's crap
But the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home

Force 8 gale blowin' in from the west
Waves are gonna peak at a six foot crest
No shelter from the trees 'cos they cut them all down
Are we gonna make it to the start ?
Or is the boat gonna fall apart ?

I said refund our entry fee
Ya gotta be joking's what they said to me
It's all a gamble when it's just a game
Ya cannot see over the waves
Evrybody's goin' sideways

Take me down To Nottingham City
Where the water's crap
But the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down To Nottingham City
Where the water's crap
But the girls are pretty
Take me home
Oh, won't you please take me home

What a windy day
What a windy day
oh won't you please take me home
Oh won't you please take me home

Take me down To Nottingham City
Where the water's crap
But the girls are pretty
Take me home

Oh, won't you please take me home
