ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS

(Duffy)


THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE SOIL

IN ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS

IN GARDENS PEOPLE TOIL

IN ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS

THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN

THE UPSTAIRS AND THE DOWN

MAY SHARE A COMMON TUNE

BENEATH THE SUMMER MOON

FORSAKEN AND FORLORN

OR TO THE MANOR BORN

THE BELLS INSIDE THE STEEPLE

SOUND OUT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE

SO THEY SAY, SO THEY SAY

BUT THE WOEBEGONE

HAVE TO CARRY ON

WHEN THEY RING THE BELLS IN TUNBRIDGE WELLS


THEY WATCH THE KETTLE BOIL

IN ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS

THEY READ FROM CONAN DOYLE

IN ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS

IN A CLEARING IN A THICKET

THE OLDER BOYS PLAY CRICKET

WHEN ANYONE’S IN DOUBT

THEY POUR A GUINNESS STOUT

THEY LOVE THE LOCAL PUB

THEY HATE BEELZEBUB

THE FISHES IN THE STREAM

ARE ONLY WHAT THEY SEEM

SO THEY SAY, SO THEY SAY

BUT THERE’S SOMETHING AFLOAT

IN THE CASTLE MOAT

WHEN THEY RING THE BELLS IN TUNBRIDGE WELLS


THE HOI POLLOI  ARE LOYAL

IN ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS

THEY MIND THE RULES OF HOYLE

IN ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS

IN CHURCH WE FIND THE VICAR

WHO LIKES HIS DRAM OF LIQUOR

WHILE ON THE VILLAGE GREEN

THEY EULOGIZE THE QUEEN

A LONE RETIREE

HAS BISCUITS WITH HIS TEA

AND NOTHING IS AMISS

WHEN LOVERS SHARE A KISS

SO THEY SAY, SO THEY SAY

BATS IN THE BELFRY

APPEAR IN YOUR SELFIE

WHEN THEY RING THE BELLS IN TUNBRIDGE WELLS

WHEN THEY RING THE BELLS IN TUNBRIDGE WELLS
