Randy Newman - Birmingham lyrics

Got a wife got a family

Earn my livin' with my hand

I'm a roller in a steel mill

In downtown Birmingham.

My daddy was a barber

And a most unsightly man

He was born in Tuscaloosa

But he died right here in Birmingham.

Birmingham Birmingham

The greatest city in Alabam'

You can travel 'cross this entire land

There ain't no place like Birmingham.

Got a wife named Mary

But she's called Marie

We live in a three room house

With a pepper tree

And I work all day in the factory

That's alright with me.

Got a big black dog

And his name is Dan

Who lives in my backyard in Birmingham

He is the meanest dog in Alabam'

Get 'em Dan.

Birmingham Birmingham

The greatest city in Alabam'

You can travel 'cross this entire land

There's ain't place like Birmingham.
