The Good Old B.I. |

THE GOOD OLD B.I.
(Lyrics by Philip Battle)
Woken by the buzzer of the good old B. I.
Rushing down Bond Street, the day shift have arrived
The fine wire department prepares for the day.
Gone are the times when copper was king
A job for life in the good old B. I.
When a small town in Lancashire took on the world
All gone and forgotten, nothing remains
I remember the drum yard, all the sights and the sounds
Burning copper from the Empire in the B. C. R.
Men and women of copper working night and day
Smoking chimneys on Bridge Road
From a time when Prescot took on the world
The five o clock buzzer ended the day
The men and women of copper
Poured into the Bath Springs to finish the day
Gone are the days when copper was king
Everything forgotten, nothing remains
From a time when Prescot took on the world
Edited and presented by Philip Battle (Born & Raised in Prescot)
