Here's one for the TV fest that i decided to do after watching another episode of the second series of Lillyhammer it's a stunner!!.The series that is!..anyway i went down the cellar and asked big E if he would front this one and so here it is.......

Frank had to leave
It was getting way to hot
They had to send him somewhere where he could cool down a lot

Frank was so pleased
so pleased When the man sent him north

It was cold when he got there
Everything innocent white
They weren't quite ready for how he Frank would set the place alight

Frank was so pleased
so pleased When the man sent him north

The change of pace seemed to slow frank down
He met a man called Togeir who helped to show him around
And together they went ahead and took over Lillyhammer town

Frank was so pleased
so pleased When the man sent him north

He knew that back home a bullet waited for his head
But here in Lilyhammer he could sleep safe & sound inside his bed
He never dreamed there was such a pleasant place to be

Frank was so pleased
so pleased When the man sent him north
Go on get out of my town boy

Piano solo

Frank he met a woman, Sigrid was her name
A blond Scandinavian woman whom loved him without shame
A gift of twin children was given to them

Frank was so pleased
so pleased When the man sent him north

The Flamingo grew, to be the hottest club in town
With the illegal booze the profits started to amount
Family life was good and the friendships frank made were solid too

He loved this new place better than his hometown
He could see nothing wrong with what was going down
He could handle it all
He still pleased
that the man had sent him north

Frank had to leave
It was getting way to hot
They had to send him somewhere where he could cool down a lot
Frank was so pleased
so pleased When the man sent him north

The man sent him North
