lyrics

Big Lil hit town and landed just like a hand grenade
On the 7.55 from Hull
The world once deaf to her now turned up its hearing aid
Whatever happened next it wouldn't be dull
Three Hull lasses with their best diamanté on
With hacks all acting like they're cracking a code
Been dealt an 'and they're down here upping the ante on
Don't bet against a lass from Hessle Road

Chorus
Big Lil hits town
Big Lil hits town ran the headline
Big Lil hits town
The newsroom told
The orders hold
The front page

"We 'ant come all this way to not get an answer, love
Not dressed in Sunday Best on Tuesday for nowt
I'll tell you now we're in no mood for a chancer, love
We'll stay down here until we've hammered it out."
Kings Cross'd seen nowt like it since Beatlemania
Lil, Yvonne and Mary stole the heart of the world
Hull's a lot like London, maybe colder and rainier
But it gets the best out of its West End girls

Chorus
