Every summer / Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels Are We

to the tune of 'All through the night'
by Morgan
When it's Easter/Summer, up in Norfolk,
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Tough and hardy, out-of-door folk,
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
We don't mind the stormy weather
Rain won't spoil a Harrier's/Mallards'/Kestrel's feather
When it's rough we pull together
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.

Meals we have are large and tasty
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
But to eat them we're not hasty
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Porridge made from polyfilla
Stew and dumplings - they're a killer
Eggs case-hardened like a tiller
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.

Commy's joy is boat inspection
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Thinks he's back at crime detection
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Carries his own toffee paper
Drops it, finds it, cuts a caper,
Reckons he is quite a japer.
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.

Commy's joy is tent inspection - Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we
Loves to ask a stupid question - Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we
If one of your crew is sickly,
And you want a doctor quickly
Do not moor where reeds grow thickly - Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we

Every year we have surprises
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Campers come in different sizes
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Some are fat and some are slender
Girls in slacks disguise their gender
................'s shaped like a fender.
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.

Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels have some useless skippers
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Learned their sailing on big dippers
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Steer their boats on mud and lodge 'em
Wreck their craft and have to bodge 'em
Wouldn't trust them with a dodgem
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.

Commy's cruiser's warm and cosy
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Life for us is not so rosy
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.
Water all around us seeping/Insects all around are creeping
But the Commy's soundly sleeping
Dreams of profits he is reaping
Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we.

Life on Spindrift is so cosy - Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we
Life for us is not so rosy - Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we
Water all around is seeping,
But the Commy's soundly sleeping,
Dreams of profits he is reaping - Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels are we
