Birmingham, don't mean the one over in Alabam There is no-one who's been through more than you And still come through with love to spare You really care, you lovely lady you.
Birmingham, with your air so cosmopolitan Well I don't mean that disrespectfully For you have always shared you home With all who've come to love you like I do.
It's time you city people turned to look And take a leaf out of this lady's book.
Birmingham, you may not be a Venice or a Cannes But you have shown us what life's all about It's time to shout your praises round They'll never knock you down We love you Birmingham.
