THE DIFFERENCE
In Brighouse folk get off a bus,
At Lightcliffe they alight
And there they’re elevate
When a Brighouse man is ‘tight’.
At Clifton people go to bed,
At Lightcliffe they retire,
At morning rise, while Cliftonners
Get up and light fire
At Lane Head people often give
At Knowle Top they subscribe
In Birds Royd people sometimes drink
Near Coley, they imbibe.
At Brookfoot folk put on their clothes
In The Grove the people dress
They’re otherwise in dishabille
At Brookfoot in a mess
In murky Brighouse people live
Near The Stray they reside
And Lightcliffe people who expire
In Brighouse would have died
And when upon the closing scene
The passing bell is heard
In Brighouse they’ll be buried
But in Lightcliffe they’re interred
And later when on that great day
The world comes to an end
While Brighouse saints go up above
From Lightcliffe they’ll ascend.
