(Harris - Dickinson - Smith - Murray - McBrain)



Were on a mission from Rod..



Life in the city living in L.A.

Is a long way from Huddersfield town

The back of the Rainbows a long way from heaven

But thats where he get his pork pie

Limos and ladies theyre driving him crazy

Rugby and crickets unknown

Baseball and football theyre making him lazy

Your fan club says "Rodney comeome"





The Sheriff of Huddersfield

Locked in his castle

Looked down on the Hollywood Hills

The Sheriff of Huddersfield

Locked in his castle

Youre our own Hot Rod on wheels





A good game of arrows a few dozen barrels

The Nautilus rusts in the yard

For Yorkshire hes yearning but because hes earning

Hell always live in L.A.

A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket

And never comes out to pay bills

Hes winning at poker and playing the Joker

And always cheats when he deals





Hello, let me introduce myself

My names Rodney

Im immensely strong

When I were a lad

I could lift up

Five navies on the end of a shovel

The reason I never took up martial arts

Is because I was fearsome

And probably

Kill everybody

That I came into contact with

I was phenomenally strong





Pride and ego

My lads,

Pride and ego

Is what makes the world rotate,

And everybody knows that

The centre of the Universe is Huddersfield

Thats why I dont live there anymore

I live in Los Angeles

Its great!... I think





Rufus the red has a crane by his bed

To wrench himself up in the morn

But if you dare to tread at the foot of his bed

Youll wish youd never been born

A bear with a sore head we dont mean your forehead

He slumbers for most of the day

Wide eyed and legless baked beans for breakfast

Your problem Rodney is L.A.





The sin shines all night!
