I wrote the original for that Barnsley nightingale Olivia Newton John but bloody Bob Dylan and George Harrison stole it from me.

If it wa’n’t fo’thee

There wuntav ever bin no Gre-ase

Nor “Tek Us Om” ‘ad bin rele-ased

I’s’ll tell thi that fo’ free

If it wa’n’t fo’thee

If it wa’n’t fo’thee

I’d ‘av none o’ this songs to lampoon-in

Wi wunta sin them pantaloo-ins

That wunta dun fo’me

If it wa’n’t fo’thee

If it wa’n’t fo’thee

I wunta heard thi rock ‘n’ roil

Baart no music in mi Barnsley ‘oil

Aar lass ‘n’ me agree

If it wa’n’t fo’thee
