LORD FRANKLIN (Les Barker) 'Twas homeward bound one night on the deep Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep I dreamed a dream and I thought it true Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew With a hundred seamen he sailed away To the frozen ocean in the month of May His maps were faulty and his compass bent By mid July he was in Stoke-on-Trent Through cruel hardships and Watford Gap He saw no icebergs and no polar cap Only the Eskimo in his skin canoe And you don't get many, this far south of Crewe In Baffin Bay where the whale fish blow The fate of Franklin no man may know The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell But round Northampton they all know him well And now my burden it gives me pain At Newport Pagnall he got lost again The North West Passage was Lord Franklin's dream He's lost forever deep in Milton Keynes Yes, lost forever deep in Milton Keynes @parody filename[ LADYFRN5 TUNE FILE: CROPPIE2 CLICK TO PLAY MP Feb07 |
