Harris - Dickinson - Smith - Murray - McBrain)



We´re on a mission from Rod..



Life in the city living in L.A.

Is a long way from Huddersfield town

The back of the Rainbow´s a long way from heaven

But that´s where he get his pork pie

Limos and ladies they´re driving him crazy

Rugby and cricket´s unknown

Baseball and football they´re making him lazy

Your fan club says "Rodney come´ome"





The Sheriff of Huddersfield

Locked in his castle

Looked down on the Hollywood Hills

The Sheriff of Huddersfield

Locked in his castle

You´re our own Hot Rod on wheels





A good game of arrows a few dozen barrels

The Nautilus rusts in the yard

For Yorkshire he´s yearning but because he´s earning

He´ll always live in L.A.

A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket

And never comes out to pay bills

He´s winning at poker and playing the Joker

And always cheats when he deals





Hello, let me introduce myself

My name´s Rodney

I´m 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

That´s why I don´t live there anymore

I live in Los Angeles

It´s 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

You´ll wish you´d never been born

A bear with a sore head we don´t 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!
