Bridlington


Bridlington, oh Bridlington, 
I still hear your seagulls screechin'
I still see her fingers reaching
She was 81 when I left Bridlington.

Bridlington, oh Bridlington, 
I still hear that guard dog gnashing
While I watch two drunkards slashing
I wipe my bum and dream of Bridlington.

I still see her standing in the chippy
Standing there with "Look North" on TV
And she's gyrating there for me
With her cream "Primark" blouse undone.

Bridlington, oh Bridlington, 
She pledged true love undying
Before I told her I'd been lying
Before I watch her first punch firing like a gun
At Bridlington,  at Bridlington.

    1. I could strut world stages - Yorkshire's answer to Glen Campbell - though I don't have Alzheimers (yet).

    1. Bridlington is a lovely coastal Yorkshire town. Did the micro manager ever go there before being exiled from Yorkshire?

    1. No CG. I like Bridlington. It's just that I noticed its syllables follow the same pattern as "Galveston".
