Have you ever been in New Street For the January sales
Have you been in Yates’s Wine Lodge Sipping spirits or supping ale’s

Have you walked down through the Bull Ring when it’s packed on market day
Listened to the ranters disagreed with what they say

Have you walked up Corporation Street, the Law Court’s there you know
And Lewis’s and Rackhams, people rushing to and fro

Have you ever watched a horror at the Gaumont for a fright
Then waited for the last bus home in Digbeth at midnight

Have you been down to St Martins have you prayed with all the rest
For wars to end, for crops to grow, for Warwick’s to win the Test

Have you ever been to the Alex or the Hippodrome to a show
The Town Hall and Museums are also places you should go

If you haven’t then you’re lucky, see it all then have a rest
Cos once you’ve seen our Brummagem
You’ll know you’ve seen the best
 
AH! SATURDAY IN THE BULL RING. THE RAG MARKET, THE BLIND LADY SELLING CARRIER BAGS, THE FISH MARKET, THE SPIV'S AND THEIR SUITCASES. THE SMELLS OF BIRMINGHAMS HEART, AND DEAR OLD NELSON KEEPING AN EYE ON US ALL.
