One way system â smooth and commendable
Go by bus â theyâre highly dependable
The swings in the park for the kids have won awards
The clean streets acknowledged in the Lords
But whatâs a park if you canât see a linnet?
A timetable if your journeyâs infinite?
My bagâs packed and Iâm leaving in a minute
For what is Chatteris without you in it?
Car crimeâs low, the gun crimeâs lower
The town hall band CD, itâs a grower
You never hear of folk getting knocked on the bonce
Although there was a drive-by shouting once
But thereâs a brass band everywhere
And I donât drive, so I donât care
And as a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
Whatâs Chatteris if youâre not there?
Like a game-bird reserve short on pheasants
Weaversâ cottages devoid of tenants
A market town that lacks quintessence
Thatâs Chatteris without your presence
Three good butchers, two fine chandlers
An indoor pool and a first class cake shop
Ofsted plaudits, envy of the Fens
Prick barriers at both ends
But whatâs Chatteris if youâre not there?
Whatâs Chatteris if youâre not there?
Whatâs Chatteris if youâre not there?
Whatâs Chatteris if youâre not there?
Whatâs Chatteris if youâre not there?
Whatâs Chatteris if youâre not there?
I may as well be in Ely or St.Ivesâ¦
