[Verse 1]
Came down from the North
You know the way they do
Got a cheeky smile
Sexy Northerner
[Verse 2]
Hanging round the clubs
Gets in them for free
Don't know how he does it
Sexy Northerner
[Verse 3]
Drinks a lot of beer
At least he doesn't smoke
Hasn't lost his accent
Sexy Northerner
[Chorus]
How does he do it?
How does he do it?
Acts like he's got nothing to prove
Sexy Northerner
[Post-Chorus]
It's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
[Verse 4]
Don't you dare imply
That it's grim up North
He went last weekend
Sexy Northerner
[Verse 5]
In the latest clothes
Wears a posh cologne
Got a lot of pride
Sexy Northerner
[Verse 6]
Says he wants a job
Something interesting
Like a graphic designer
Sexy Northerner
[Chorus]
How does he do it?
How does he do it?
Acts like he's got nothing to prove
Sexy Northerner
[Chorus]
How does he do it?
How does he do it?
Acts like he's got nothing to prove
Sexy Northerner
[Post-Chorus]
It's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
Came down from the North
You know the way they do
Got a cheeky smile
Sexy Northerner
[Verse 2]
Hanging round the clubs
Gets in them for free
Don't know how he does it
Sexy Northerner
[Verse 3]
Drinks a lot of beer
At least he doesn't smoke
Hasn't lost his accent
Sexy Northerner
[Chorus]
How does he do it?
How does he do it?
Acts like he's got nothing to prove
Sexy Northerner
[Post-Chorus]
It's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags

[Post-Chorus]
It's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
No it's not all football and fags
