Lyrics

Down the m3,
There's somewhere you can feel free,
To get away from the people
Who get you down,
Why not come over to Basingstoke town.
Its full of stories
And more than its fair share of Tories
But don’t feel ill at ease
‘Cos You won't wear a frown
When you spend a day or two
In Basingstoke Town.
Take a walk in the festival square,
The use of concrete well it can't compare.
Some dodgy underpasses, don’t despair,
‘Cos you'll be right as rain.
So come and join me,
What are you doing next Sunday?
We could see a show maybe.
Have a drink or two, COME ON DOWN!
To Basingstoke, it’s waiting for you.
It’s full of history, it’s plain to see.
It's been home to folk for centuries
Jane Austen went a dancing with her merry ladies,
And then she wrote some books.
And they sold well over a million copies.
I haven’t read any myself but,
I'm reliably informed that they’re really jolly good.
It's got everything you need here,
Let’s move and set up home here Dear
You could work in electronics or bionics,
Or you could just stay at home here Dear.
What’s that you say dear?
You’ve had it up to hear dear?
You're not coming down the Waterloo line then?
Oh well I guess I’ll stay here without you,
Spend my days with brand new crew.
Don’t tell me that I’m a big buffoon,
When I’m chatting up Liz Hurley in the Spoons.
And after we have spoke,
We’ll agree that we love Basingstoke.
