"Leave Liverpool??" I blurted
When Torres thought to ditch
Swapping heritage for riches
Yacht trips with Abramovich
Kensington in London
Where the other half live
Kensington in Liverpool
Deemed much less attractive
Residents of Fairfield
Treats with free broadband
For Europe's most deprived
Prescot Road and a brass band
West to Westminster
Royal Borough for Chelsea
East to Hammersmith
Richest location in Blighty
Child poverty is endemic
Life expectancy less than Peru
Rocking the streets of Kenny
Edge Hill not for Bono's crew
Abodes of the upperclass
Queen Vic sipped Chablis
Walked Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Thomas Moore's spree
Elliott, Secret Millionaire
Natasha the Atomic Kitten
Shack's frontman Mick Head
Thommo, son of Kensington
Albertopolis and Kings Road
Never played second fiddle
London's elite go Harrods
Kenny makes do with Lidl
Quam Bonum in Unum Habitare
'How good it is to dwell in unity'
Harvey Nics and Peter Jones
Or Brompton Oratory
Home of Notting Hill Carnival
Royal Hospital, Saatchi Gallery
Long walk up the Portobello
To join footballs aristocracy
Yet one step is still elusive
Quest to join the Royalty
Blue may be the colour
Reds have all the history
Eighteen leagues, seven FA
Seven League Cups, three Uefa
Five European Cuppas
They let us keep it forever
Unity, pride, success
Billions it'll cost to dethrone
Adoration all over the globe
In that you'll always walk alone
