But Norfolk Seems Quite Bare

Lincolnshire has its poacher,
And Scarborough has its fair.
Good Old Sussex has its sea,
But Norfolk seems quite bare!

Bangor has its day trip,
And Dublin's beyond compare.
Many belong to Glasgow,
But Norfolk seems quite bare!

Eton has its boating,
A pastime Skye does share.
Even Surrey has a fringe on top,
But Norfolk seems quite bare!

Scotland's roads are high or low,
Harlech has men to spare.
Richmond Hill it boasts a lass,
But Norfolk seems quite bare!

Derry has its air so clear,
London has quite a flare.
Ilkley has its moor bar tat,
But Norfolk seems quite bare!

Dover has its cliffs of white,
Green Partridge has its pear.
Blaydon has its horses racing,
But Norfolk seems quite bare!

New York New York's a wonderful town
Cisco has flowery hair,
Vienna has its tale of woods,
But Norfolk seems quite bare!

So raise a glass to Norfolk,
Unassailed by minstrels craft.
Perhaps someone could write us one,
That should raise a laugh!
