lyrics

[chorus]
We’ve been listening to the Archers,
We’ve been listening to the Archers,
We’ve been listening to the Archers,
And they’re there on Radio 4.

Now, you turn on your radio and listen every day,
To folks who live in Borcetshire and all their country ways,
I’d go there on me holiday, but I can’t find the way,
‘Cos it ain’t on any map! (Oh no!)

[chorus]

Now Ambridge has a Cricket Team, it’s got a Village Pub.
It’s even got a Village Shop and Grundy’s Scrumpy Club.
Grey Gables is the place to go, it serves up lovely grub,
But it ain’t on any map! (Oh no!)

[chorus]

I’d listen on me radio when I were just a lad,
I got the hots for Schula A., and went and asked me dad;
If I could go and visit her, and he said “are you mad!,
‘Cos it ain’t on any map!” (Oh!)

[chorus]

Oh, David went and married Ruth, and she comes from “oop north”,
Schula’s married Alistair, she’s stables and a horse.
Old Phil’s retired, he spends his time a-ramblin’ through the gorse,
That ain’t on any map! (Oh no!)

[chorus]

The centre of the Village life has always been the Church,
The Vicar’s got a motor-bike, he needs it for his work.
I s’pose they’ll all end up in there, six foot beneath the earth.
That’s not on any map! (Oh!)

[chorus]
[chorus]
