The Best Place Ever!

entry picture

In Knotty Ash, it's a busy old time.
As Diddymen work down the mine.
Mining for jam for your butties or jar.
Knotty Ash jam, the very best by far!

It's a busy time in Knotty Ash today.
As factory workers make there way.
On assembly lines, biscuits to repair.
As happy Diddymen songs fill the air!

Plantation black puddings taste great.
So put them on your breakfast plate!
In Knotty Ash, lovely treacle we sell.
Freshly served from our very own well.

Of our Gravy Trains, please take note.
Should you need gravy for your boat!
What a place to live, to work and be.
The best place ever, Knotty Ash for me!

Very evocative. I haven't had the pleasure to visit yet, but now hope I can do so when things are back to normal. I remember Ken Dodd singing Nessun Dorma at the age of 80. Will never forget it.
