You can yank me out of Yorkshire but I still want Yorkshire pudding You can send me south but I’ll still go bargain hunting Even though it is that I live in the South I still have a hint of the northern mouth Well that’s what the southerners say But I’m sure to you it doesn’t sound that way Anyway regardless where I am at I’m Yorkshire bred and that’s a fact To present this case to you Some traits of yours; I have a few I chose cheese to partner fruitcake And forever search for savings to make I always speak what’s on my mind Which at times southerners think unkind Though they themselves aren’t so good When it comes to small talk in moments stood A stranger is a momentary friend to a northerner Whilst the southerner stands awkwardly waiting I know which I would rather be Let’s just say it has its’ own tea So I am most pleased to see That so much of you has rubbed off on me For you my northern family Are in my thoughts more than you know And without you I would not be so
