Some say I am a mongrel

Because I have a mixture in my blood

One part Scottish

One part Wiltshire

One part Yorkshire

One part Wales

I was born and bred in Sherwood Forest

North Notts to be precise

In Bassetlaw District Council

In Victoria Hospital

That is no more

Now I know all about the cutbacks

the death of old King Coal

the closure of the railways

the closure of the mines

If there is to be another war will it be a postcode lottery

wider than the ocean deeper than the sea

when the sky is blue the sea is green

or so the story goes

where would we be in a sea of red

in it up to our necks indeed

Come on you blue and white wizards

Put the mongrel on the Kop

No more tears for the 97

Sing England for the cup.
