The Manchester Mudcat Ramble by Matthew Edwards
(with profound apologies to Ewan MacColl) (Originally posted in this thread)
The White Lion on Friday will sure be a high day,
When 'Cats sing and play music as well.
And if you are lucky, then down at the Ducie,
There'll be many fine stories to tell.
Then its Pauline's in Failsworth on Sunday,
For the ones who can get out of bed;
But I'll be trying to part with my curry,
And feeling I'd rather be dead.
Chorus:
I'm a Mudcat, I'm a Mudcat, down Machester way,
I get all my pleasure the musical way.
I may be a wageslave on Monday,
But I am a singer on Sunday.
