Welcome To Liverpool
tmp_3ec89544ba6d2d8329426f28893d3575_3igN26_html_m6a7e5e05.jpgWelcome to our mighty city,
The people you’ll find are very witty,
As they go about their work and play,
As they do most every day.
It’s always busy on the street,
The sense of community can’t be beat,
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor,
Mostly they’ve been there before.
It doesn’t matter if you’re white or black,
You’ll never receive any flack,
Or if you are straight or gay,
You will be welcomed every day.
So come and visit Liverpool,
Come and stay, don’t be a fool,
You’ll find something that is for you,
Not one day will you be blue.
The Founding of Liverpool
For the river the pool was founded,
By the king whose name was John,
For our armies, off to Ireland,
A land in which we didn’t belong.
On this site a village was established,
To feed this hungry crowd,
If they had all been out and drinking,
You can bet that they were loud.
Only seven streets then existed,
The people there could be free,
New people came seeking their fortune,
For it was the place to be.
Over time a town developed,
Getting bigger every day,
Never would this towns inhabitants,
Forget from where their history lay.
So from such humble beginning,
A mighty city came to be,
A place of fame and fortune,
Where you can still be free.
