Any one know the words to a song about Vesuvius errupting....
Vague remembrance of some words.....

turn around take a breath of the morning freshness
And look 'cross the light of the bay
You can just hear a shout as a boat dashes out
And goes off on its silvery way.
Just look at the sun its shining all day
And around you is yelling and buying and selling
For Naples is busy and Gay.

Think it was a late 60s 70s schools song around the land of the silver birch time!!!!
any help out there?

Cheers, Lucy

It's mentioned in this thread: http://mudcat.org/detail_pf.cfm?messages__Message_ID=3094194

This seems to be one of the songs included in the BBC's "Singing Together" books according to one comment on Mudcat.

Guest Pam, perhaps you would be so kind as to write the words you remember for this song?
