This is to be sung to the tune of Mike Batt’s famous Wombling Song. The original is great fun, and can be found on youtube.
And, oh joy, oh bliss! The authentic episodes from the T.V. read by the legend Bernard Cribbins.
But as it is Covid season, and the hunting is good, I thought it worth a shot at an alternative version.
If anybody wants to do a karaoke version and post it they are most welcome. Just let me know so I can enjoy it.
Underground, overground, with tramlink three
The marshals of Wimbledon Covid are we
Being a nuisance to people we find
Breaking the rules others think are unkind
Uncle’s hilarious, he can remember the days
When he wasn’t behind a mask
Like the rest of the world
Reading the papers, all about Labour and Tory
Marshals are mobilised, think it’s a scream
Marshals are snidey and Marshals are mean
Underground, overground, with tramlink three
The marshals of Wimbledon Covid are we
People will notice us, they’ll always see
Getting up noses a Marshal will be
Marshals by night and we’re marshals by day
Looking for people to bundle away
We’re so incredulous, utterly dubious
Messing the best of everything
Even bollards and bins
Replacing P.C.s, pretend we’re doing something new
That’s what we’ll do
Underground, overground, with tramlink three
The marshals of Wimbledon Covid are we
Being a nuisance to people we find
Breaking the rules others think are unkind
