Speights Southern Man song

Speights je jižanské pivo. Ale Speights je i mnohem víc. Speights je na Jižním ostrově fenomén - je symbolem drsňáků, kteří by místní nádheru Jižních Alp nikdy nevyměnili za pohodlí pláží Severu. Heslo Speights už je po několik desetiletí stejné: Pride of the South. A tady je oficiální "spejtsí" písnička, kterou můžeme klidně považovat za hymnu Jižního ostrova - a definitivně za hymnu regionu Otago:

Text:

Some of the boys
Got it into their heads
´Bout movin´ up north
To follow the bread
That ain´t for me
That kind of thing just don?t rate
This is one Southern Boy
Who ain´t crossin´ the Strait

CHORUS
I´m a Southern Man
Well I´m Southern bred
I got the South in my blood
And I´ll be here till I´m damn well dead

Now I might not be rich
But I like things down here
We got the best looking girls
And the best damn beer
So you can keep your Queen City
With your cocktails and cool
Give me a beer in a seven
With the boys shooting pool

´Cos here we just know
What makes a Southern boy tick
And it ain´t margarita´s
With some fruit on a stick
Well it might not be fancy
But when you come from down here
You know you got the best girl
And you got the best beer
