Go East Young Man

Go east, young man, go east, I say,
I tell you there's no better way.
The way to go for man and beast,
Go east, young man, go east.

If you live in Liverpool,
Get right out, don't be a fool,
Do not listen to your priest,
Go east, young man, go east.

Do not stop in Manchester
That from you I do deter
Go around it at the least
Go east, young man, go east.

Tempt ye not by Leeds' fare
You do not want to go in there.
They make vile brew from hops and yeast
Go east, young man, go east.

From Hull and Halifax and hell,
May the Good Lord spare you well
For salvation go off piste
Go east, young man, go east.

Then in Grimsby you may rest
That's the place that is the best
So if you want to join the feast
Go east, young man, go east.

Mike Stools (b. 1962)
