(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
