Beautiful South - Manchester

From N^Eorthernden to Partington it's r^C#main From A^Altrincham to Chadderton it's r^Bain From M^Eoss Side to Swinton hardly S^C#mpain It's a ^Apicture postcard of 'wish they never ^Bcame'

And whilst that d^Aeckchair in the garden it makes no s^Eense It d^Boesn't spoil the view or cause off^Eence Those F^Aloridas, Bavarias and K^Eents Make g^Bentlemen wear shorts but don't make g^Eents

So con^Evertibles stay garage-bound Save ^C#mafter-sun for later If ^Arain makes Britain great Then ^BManchester is greater As you ^Edry your clothes once again Up^C#mon the radiator ^AWhat makes Britain great Makes ^BManchester yet greater

From ^ECheetham Hill to Wytenshawe it's ^C#mrain ^AGorton, Salford, Sale pretty much the ^Bsame As I'm ^Ecaught without my jacket once ^C#magain The ^Araindrops on my face play a sweet re^Bfain

And as ^Awinter turns reluctantly to ^Espring For the ^Bclouds above the city there's one last ^Efling ^ASwallows build their nests, chaffinch ^Esing And the ^Bsun strolls into town like long lost ^Eking

So con^Evertibles stay garage-bound Save ^C#mafter-sun for later If ^Arain makes Britain great Then ^BManchester is greater As you ^Edry your clothes once again Up^C#mon the radiator ^AWhat makes Britain great Makes ^BManchester yet greater

And the ^Amood of this whole sodden place is ^Emelancholy Like the ^Bsun came out to play, shone through the ^Eclouds but dropped its lolly And ^Aeveryone looks so disappointed, ^Eso, so sorry Like the ^Brain blew into town, kidnapped the ^Esun and stole it's brolly

So con^Evertibles stay garage-bound Save ^C#mafter-sun for later If ^Arain makes Britain great Then ^BManchester is greater As you ^Edry your clothes once again Up^C#mon the radiator ^AWhat makes Britain great Makes ^BManchester yet greater
