St Nicholas-at-Wade 1924

James Pitt-Payne, London UK 02 Jan 2005

There's a quaint little sleepy town
Not so far from the sea,
But you'll get no particulars
But the bare name from me,
Or you'd crowd there in millions,
In your best clothes arrayed,
To St Nicholas, St Nicholas, St NicholasatWade,
St NicholasatWade

Now the men of St Nicholas
Are the best in the land,
And there ain't much in politics
That they don't understand,
'Twould surprise 'em in parliament
At the wisdom displayed
At St Nicholas, St Nicholas, St NicholasatWade,
St NicholasatWade

But as cute as we fellows are,
The maids have us beat,
They're so rosy and cuddlesome,
So winsome and sweet;
Any evening in summer time
It is two in the shade
At St Nicholas, St Nicholas, St NicholasatWade

Now your London's a finer place,
Aye and smarter, may be,
But altho' it was twice as fine,
You can keep it for me,
All I want is a cottage
And just my own little maid
At St Nicholas, St Nicholas, St NicholasatWade,
St NicholasatWade
