| Manchester and Liverpool | |
| may not seem cities for romatic fools | |
| Bustling feet and dusty streets | |
| And people living for each day. | |
| But behind the smoke and grind | |
| a great big city's beating heart you'll find | |
| You may roam but it's still home | |
| Although you travel far away | |
| A city, a city may not be so very pretty. | |
| But to be back, a smokestack | |
| can be a welcome sight to see. | |
| Manchester and Liverpool | |
| so noisy, busy and so typical | |
| Millions there with hopes and cares | |
| And happiness is their own aim | |

| The whole world over, it is just as true | |
| where you start is in your heart | |
| And there it always will remain | |
| A city, a city may not be so very pretty. | |
| But to be back, a smokestack | |
| can be a welcome sight to see. | |
| Manchester and Liverpool | |
