It's fun to be from the north

it really really is,

everyone's so friendly

we tell you the way things are

no fancy frills

no slippery words

we say the way it is.

 

You can count on us from the north

you really really can

helpful in every possible way

no needless fuss

from the likes of us

we like to keep it thus.

 

We're not stuck up like the southerners

not us lot in the north

we'll never judge you be sure of that

though we'd like you to know

that 'ow do means hello

and we don't give a tuppeny cuss.

 

There'll always be a welcome up here

so get yourself off your bums

and find out what it's like in't north

i'm mekkin' it quite clear

that no matter what you southerners say

we're more natural and more sincere.
