Life in a city living in L.A

Is a long way from Huddersfield town

The back of the Rainbow's a long way from heaven

But that's where he get's his pork pie

Limos and ladies they're

Driving him queasy

Rugby and cricket's unknown

Baseball and football they're making him lazy

Your fan club says "Rodney, come home"

The Sheriff of Huddersfield locked in his castle

Look down on Hollywood Hills

The Sheriff of Huddersfield locked in his castle

You're our own Hot Rod on wheels

A good game of arrows, a few dozen barrels

The Nautilus rusts in the yard

But for Yorkshire he's yearning

But because he's earning

He'll always live in L.A

A custom made wallet that stays in his pocket

And never comes out to pay bills

He's winning at poker and playing the Joker

And he always cheats when he deals

Hello, let me introduce meself!

My name is Rodney. I'm immensely strong

When I were a lad

I could lift up five navies on an end of a shovel

The reason I never took martial arts

Because I was immensely fearsome

And I'd probably kill everybody

I came into contact with it

I was phenomenally strong

Pride and ego, my lads, pride and ego

Is what makes the world rotate

And everybody knows the centre of the universe

Is Huddersfield but I don't live there anymore

I live in Los Angeles. It's great! I think

Rufus the red has a crane by his bed

To wrench himself up in the morn'

But if you dare to tread at the foot of his bed

You'll wish you'd never been born

A bear with a sore head, we don't mean your forehead

He slumbers for most of the day

Wide eyed and legless

Baked beans for breakfast

Your problem, Rodney L.A
