Pothole Bells

Verse

Dashing through the streets,

In a battered little car,

Tyres are wearing thin,

We haven't gotten far!

The roads are full of holes,

It gives the drivers grief,

And we, the Lib Dem team,

Are bringing some relief!

Oh, the Council needs a shake,

The budget is absurd,

A promise they did break,

No proper tar was poured!

Chorus

Pothole bells, pothole bells,

Ringing all the way!

Oh, what fun it is to ride,

In our yellow sleigh, hey!

Pothole bells, pothole bells,

Ringing all the way!

Vote for us, we’ll mend the roads,

Starting Christmas Day!

Verse

A single yellow leaflet,

Posted through the door,

Lists a hundred craters,

And maybe fifty more!

The Council said, "We’ll fix them,"

But that was back in Spring,

Now Santa’s reindeer trip,

On the mess the roads all bring!

A bicycle just swerved,

Avoided a deep pit,

The local Lib Dem activist,

Is having quite a fit!

Chorus

Pothole bells, pothole bells,

Ringing all the way!

Oh, what fun it is to ride,

In our yellow sleigh, hey!

Pothole bells, pothole bells,

Ringing all the way!

Vote for us, we’ll mend the roads,

Starting Christmas Day!

Bridge

We’ve got our clipboards ready,

Our petitions are all signed,

We’ve marked each treacherous fissure,

The worst ones you can find.

A bit of tarmac patching,

Is all we truly ask,

Before the Christmas turkey,

Completing this hard task!

Chorus

Pothole bells, pothole bells,

Ringing all the way!

Oh, what fun it is to ride,

In our yellow sleigh, hey!

Pothole bells, pothole bells,

Ringing all the way!

Vote for us, we’ll mend the roads,

Starting Christmas Day!
