    Sadly, Hull's own Mike Waterson died two days ago and it's been suggested on CI that we adopt a version(or a part of) his song Three Day Millionaire as our terrace anthem.

    Why I left school Friday
    And I started work on Saturday
    To catch the early tide
    And be a galley boy's me plan
    On the fishin' grounds to roam
    Eighteen hundred mile from home
    I couldn't give a bugger, I'm a man

    I shall get to deck a-learnin'
    It's the bonus I'll be earnin'
    And the money comes in handy
    For the old ran tan
    Brylcreme in me hair
    Three day millionaire
    I couldn't give a bugger, I'm a man

    I sh'll get meself a suit made
    To show I'm in the fishin' trade
    I'll put me brothel-creepers* on
    And swagger when I can
    All me pots are pint-sized
    Watch me gettin paralysed
    To show the younger buggers who's a man

    And when I get to skipper
    I'll get married, have a nipper
    I s'll take the lad to sea wi' me
    And teach him all I can
    I'll be a different sort of fella
    Have a house out in Kirk Ella**
    And I'll show the bleedin' neighbours who's a man

    I'll be a different sort of fellow
    Have a house out in Kirk Ellow
    And I'll show the bleedin' neighbours who's a man

    You can download it or listen to a clip on here:

    RIP Mike <peacedove>

    Apart from the 30 second clip on the link I posted, I can't find any full length version online.

    Unless it's got "nah nah nah nah nah" or too that extent & repeated over and over again it won't take off.
