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!
