It's a long,
long way from Birmingham to London town,
hey hey
When you need a lift and everybody turns you down,
hey hey
Sisters on my feet,
they nearly had me beat
Until Crown and Porters,
Meat Exporters,
Laurie came along
When I started
out the sun was really shining through,
hey hey
All I dreamed about was being once again with you,
hey hey
Then the rain began,
and down the road I swam
Until Crown and Porters, Meat Exporters,
Laurie came along
Sitting in an ice cold butcher's van,
shivering it all the way through
Being knocked about by legs of lamb,
I was black and blue,
I was black and blue,
yeah
It's a long,
long way from Birmingham to London town,
hey hey But at last I made it,
even though I nearly drowned,
hey hey
And I'm here with you,
thanks to Crown and Porters,
Meat Exporters,
Laurie coming back
But now I've got the flu,
I'm sure you'll catch it too,
thanks to Crown and Porters,
Meat Exporters, Laurie coming back
Thanks to Crown and Porters,
Meat Exporters,
Laurie coming back
Thanks to Crown and Porters,
Meat Exporters,
Laurie coming back
