lyrics

Desmond Douglas

It’s dinner time at a Birmingham secondary modern
The other pupils are playing outside
But you stay in the classroom, you stay in
To practice your footwork
There’s not much room so with
Tables and chairs you collide

Chorus:
You were told to keep out of the way
When you played at the YMCA

Desmond Douglas, you leave without qualifications
To work ‘on the buses’, West Midlands Transport
Now the sound of your plimsolls
It echoes around the bus stations
A job in the office, considerate bosses
Make sure you don’t damage your hands


Desmond Douglas, the financial rewards are meagre
Like Union players who had to ‘go north’
Desmond Douglas, you headed for the Bundesliga
To ply your trade for Borussia Dusseldorf

There’s a faraway look in your eyes
As you produce a forehand disguise
With a squeak of your Dunlop ‘Green Flash’
And a twirl of your famous moustache
