Why do they all know Maggie?
Why do they love her so?
No Judy holds a candle up to her
And mister if you′ve missed
Darling Maggie off your list
You're not half the man I thought you were
Oh Maggie, Maggie May
Now they′re taking her away
How can Liverpool be what it was before?
Some rotten homeward bounder
Has got his grip around her
And she'll never walk down Lime Street anymore
So serve up half a bitter
But never a bitter be
It only gives you wrinkles on your brow
You have been so they say
Quite a beauty in your day
But your reputation's Maggie′s now
Oh Maggie, Maggie May
Now they′re taking her away
How can Liverpool be what it was before?
Some rotten homeward bounder
Has got his grip around her
And she'll never walk down Lime Street anymore
Oh Maggie, Maggie May
Now they′re taking her away
How can Liverpool be what it was before?
Some rotten homeward bounder
Has got his grip around her
And she'll never walk down Lime Street anymore
No she′ll never walk down Lime Street anymore
