Wakes Week
Come July it'll be wakes week, When most people go away
Some folks travel t' Blackpool. Some fer a week or a day.
Mi favrite place wer' Blackpoo' I' digs on General Street.
At Mrs Pooles, wi mi Mam an Dad, We allus stopped fer a week.
Y' could bet ther wer' someone ther we knew. Oo'ed come fro' our 'ome town.
Fer i'd wer Accrinton's wakes week.They'd come t' try t'ge'd brown.
Ah couldn't wait t' ged down t' beach. In a deck chur mi Mam allus sat.
While me an mi Dad sailed on a boat, no further thant' pier that wer that.

Wi'd build sand castles an wid mek sand pies. I'd ride on a donkey named Jill.. Then wid eat shrimps an ice cream, an Mother ud sey. Dorned eat so much tha'l be ill.
T'ower an t' cirus wer allus a must. Wi offen went in t' zoo. There wer lions an t'igers an munkeys. An aquerium wi lots a fish too.
Ther wer shows on all o't piers, wi singers an dancers galore. As wi sat theer in't theatre wetchin, knowin't' sea wer theer under t' floor.
Ther were side shows all along t' promenade. Cum see tattooed lady they cried. or 't two eedid twins, or't worlds thinnest man.
An fairyland's on'y tuppence a ride. I'ds allus excitin at Blackpoo. There's plenty to do an t' see.Wakes weeks ar over an it's time to go 'ome. Mi Dad an mi Mam, an Me . Ah! Memories.:engsmil:
