For Girly

[enismirdal]

Are you right or what?
Are you right or what?
Are you right or what?
Are you right or what?

Well, I went for a stroll just the other day
I called in at the paper shop and what did they say?
He said, "Pay your bill, cos you owe three weeks!
If you don't pay up, we're gonna break yer knees!"

Are you right or what?
Are you right or what?

Talking to me mate, the other night
He says, "You coming to the match, cos there's gonna be a fight?"
I says, "No, right , I don't want a fight.
I'm off down the chippy cos I fancy a bite."

Are you right or what?
Are you coming down the chippy?
Are you right or what?
Are you coming down the chippy?

I was waiting at the bus stop for the 105
When this voice comesover, loud and live
She turns to her mate, she says, "What's your game?
Why don't you lend us a fag?" And what was her name?

It wasn't Lorraine or Debbie or Shane
It wasn't Kevin; it wasn't Wayne
It was MAXINE
It was MAXINE
And what does she say?
She says, "Lend us a fag, Maxine, I'm gasping."

Lend us a fag, Maxine, I'm gasping.
Are you right or what?
Are you coming down the chippy?
Lend us a fag, Maxine, I'm gasping.
Are you right or what?
Are you coming down the chippy?
Lend us a fag, Maxine, I'm gasping.

*coughing*
*laughing*

Minding me own, in the comfort of me 'ome
And my niece (or 'the news' - OK, you got me here!) is interrupted by me ta on the phone
She says, "'Iya, I'm at Asda's, right.
I've got the shopping in and it's not so friggin light
So get your car round 'ere, and give us an 'and."
"Tough," says I, "I'm very nearly canned."
She goes mad at me, right
She really makes a fuss
At me 'elpful suggestion that she go and get a bus

'Iya, I'm at Asda's, right.
'Iya, I'm at Asda's, right.
Lend us a fag, Maxine, I'm gasping.
Are you right or what?
Are you coming down the chippy?
'Iya, I'm at Asda's, right.
Lend us a fag, Maxine, I'm gasping.
Are you right or what?
Are you coming down the chippy?

So I went to the pub for some fun and frolics
Fella comes up, tries to knee me in the groin
Says, "Oy, you, it's your round.
It's nearly last orders so off your pound
Get the beer in! Double up, double up!"

Get the beer in! Double up, double up!
'Iya, I'm at Asda's, right.
Lend us a fag, Maxine, I'm gasping.
Are you right or what?
Are you coming down the chippy?
Get the beer in! Double up, double up!
'Iya, I'm at Asda's, right.
Lend us a fag, Maxine, I'm gasping.
Are you right or what?
Are you coming down the chippy?

Get the beer in! Double up, double up!
Are you right or what?
Are you right or what?
Are you right or what?
Are you right or what?

Hey?

Painstakingly transcribed by yours truly. And I may have got the odd bit wrong so corrections from more bona fide Mancunians welcome.

*grins* Have to love this song.
And its:
And my peace is interrupted by me tart on the phone

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Aah, excellent! Thank you kindly :D

[girlofthemirror.livejournal.com]

Even transcribed it still makes no sense! Silly mancunians

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Makes perfect sense! Wonderful, perfect, sensible sense :D :D :D

WHY would you ever need to get off your pound?

God I'm so confused. What's so wrong with english?

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Poor confused Girly...I think they are referring to his arse, you know, sweets.

And Mancunian is as valid a dialect as any other. It is beautiful and distinctive and is a reflection of Mancunian culture and live :p

:D

I thought maybe was sitting on his wallet?

As your second comment, I don't know if I can even bear to respond to that one.

I feel so traumatised... all this over-exposure to the heathen north is so scary.

You could never do a song like that for wear I live, or maybe you could for boscome.. god I am such a snob sometimes! *cringes* I'll have to grow out of that at some point wont I?

I suppose so, my dear. But I'm sure it's just a phase you're going through.

[girlofthemirror.livejournal.com]

just a phase you're going through Makes me giggle every time!
