OUR TOWN SQUARE



I can sit for hours and gaze around,

At the folk that I can see there.

Some I know and some I don't,

That's what we see in our Town-Square


School-kids on their dinner break,

Mingling here and there.

Lots of noise and flirting,

That's what we have in our Town-Square


The smell of bacon butties ,

Comes wafting through the air.

The smell of fish and chips as well,

That's what we smell in our Town-Square


There's a tick and a tock from the Millennium clock,

And a coo-coo from the pigeons out there.

There's lots of noise from the kiddies as well,

That's what we hear in our Town-Square


Outside the cafe they're sat in the sun,

A coffee and cake without care.

Nodding and smiling to those who pass by,

That's what we have in our Town-Square


Once every year The French Market arrives,

With stalls from to sell us their ware.

Crepes and cheese and fancy bread,

That's what we have in notre Town-Square



Every now and then there is a "big do",

And who comes? The Town Crier and Mayor.

Oyez, Oyez, you have a good day,

That's what we have in our Town-Square



There's Liddles the bakers and Shambles as well,

The girls at The Cutting Room who will style your hair.

The Albert Road Chippy, Victoria's as well,

These are the shops in our Town-Square.
