Lyrics

Sexy Northerner

Came down from the North
You know the way they do
Got a cheeky smile
Sexy Northerner

Hanging round the clubs
Gets in them for free
Don't know how he does it
Sexy Northerner

Drinks a lot of beer
At least he doesn't smoke
Hasn't lost his accent
Sexy Northerner

How does he do it?
…
