lyrics

[chorus] Farrington Gurney, Farrington Gurney,
Where folks never seem to frown.
Farrington Gurney, Farrington Gurney,
Now it’s not much smaller than a town.

Now many, many years ago, and once upon a time,
The feature of the village were the Slag-Heaps and the Mine,
That were so many years ago – and progress wouldn’t wait,
No eye-sore of a Slag-Heap: an Industrial Estate.
It’s there at:

[chorus]

Now when I were a little lad, in fields we used to play,
A-climbing up they conker trees or rollin’ in the hay,
We’d gather conkers off the ground, chuck sticks to get some more,
But cassn’t do it nowadays, there’s houses by the score.
They’re there at:

[chorus]

In Zummerzet I’m born and bred, of that I’m proud to say,
But even that old heritage they tried to take away.
They went and called it: “Avon”, but to me it weren’t the same.
They’ve changed it back to:- “Bath & North East Somerset”,
But to me it’s all the same.
I live in:

[chorus]

The Market Place is long and gone, there’s nobbut there to see,
A place where you can go and cure your sportin’ injury.
The Farm Shop is quite infamous, it will you all enthral.
The Prince of Wales he came to see half a Cow out the wall!
It’s there at:

[chorus]

Let’s go to:

Farrington Gurney, Farrington Gurney,
To my mind it is a hit.
Farrington Gurney, Farrington Gurney,
It makes other places seem like…Shepton Mallet!
