I'm Just A Liverpool Mucker!


I'm just a Liverpool mucker,
Who's as tough as old boots!
I mean to say, is it surprising?
After all, I've got some great roots!!

You see, my mother is a fighter,
And if you could see her, you'd know why!
Cos although she's only just under 4ft…
He strength continues to grow!

She used to be 5ft 2in you know!
But that's before her bones started to break,
And over the years she has shrunk so much,
Her sanity's all at stake!

Because she's bent over into a no. 7 shape,
And she topples over, just a lot!
But as stubborn as she is true, I have to say,
It's the bingo fever this woman's got!

For instance I have to tell it true,
On the afternoon of my wedding day,
She told us she wasn't up for the party,
So it was off to bingo where she did play!!!

Like I say, she just won't miss it!
Even for her daughters wedding day!
But would you believe it, seriously,
She won £200-00 on the game she did play!!!

And at just sweet 84 this year,
Oh glory be - that's quite old!
As thin as a rake on a cold winters day!
But this woman is both strong and bold!

I think I get my strength from her!
Well, cos I'm as tough as she!!
Both fighters we are, and yep, she's a star!
And as sharp as sharp could be!

But ooooer, you best be scared!!!
Cos she's also as hard as nails!!!
And just as tough as iron!!
