Santa is a Yorkshireman

SANTA IS A YORKSHIREMAN by Chris Burdon....
Santa is a Yorkshireman
Of this I'm fairly sure
I heard him tiptoe in my room
At roughly Ten to four
"I 'ope tha's fast asleep" he said
"Or tha'll get nowt my lad"
He smelled of Hi Karate
(Must av pinched it from my dad)
Just down stairs I'd left a treat
Santa loves a beer
He loves pork pies and single malt
That was Dad's idea
When I woke next morning
I ran down stairs to see
If Santa had been kind enough
To leave gifts under t'tree
He got our mam a Nightie
And a pair of china pigs
Our dad got socks and undies
And 200 park lane cigs
My sister got a Barbie
Sat on a plastic horse
A One Direction annual
Which she loved of course
When I unwrapped my parcels
My Yorkshire heart did sing
Each gift that Santa gave me
A truly wondrous thing
A flat cap for my noggin
A vest of finest string
The ferret keepers handbook
Each gift fit for a king
So thank you Santa thank you
You surely are a tyke
But can you please remember
Next year I'd like a bike

I call shenanigans as if anybody from Yorkshire would give ANYTHING away!

Ah well you see Steve don't forget all those free mince pies and drams Santa gets.... that's got to make it worthwhile.

I presume he'll get the ferret for his birthday?

Speaking as a southerner, albeit with roots in Keighley, I'd like to know why he wears the Red of Lancashire, and not the white of Yorkshire???? notwithstanding, thanks for the great poem.

14th/15th, 19th, 33rd/76th & 51st Foot, all Yorkshire regiments that wore the redcoat,
That's the best response I can come up with at the moment.
