The Radley Lakes Song

Sung to the tune of the National Anthem!

1. God save our lovely Lakes
   Long live our glorious Lakes
   Save Radley Lakes!
   Pulverised fuel ash
   Will sell for lots of cash
   There's no need for them to trash
   It in our Lakes.
2. Otters and water voles
   Swim in these crystal holes
   Wild and free.
   If Npower turn them black
   Ducks will no longer quack
   All life a home will lack
   In Radley Lakes.

3.Trees round the water's edge
    Like a protective hedge
    Framing the view.
    If they all get cut down
    People and dogs will frown
    No visitors from the town
    Will see the Lakes.

4.  Nine Lakes already gone
     The swan has sung its song
     Only two left.
     If we get heavy rain
     Water will flood the plain
     Unless we all campaign
     To save the Lakes.

5.    Npower support the Test
       With Ashes for the best,
       England or Oz.
       Let them have PFA
      There's lots to give away
      Then that would be fair play
       For Radley Lakes.

6.    Sign our petition now
       So that they won't allow
       Planning consent.
      And as we gather round
      Each one to give a pound
      Let the great cry resound
      "Save Radley Lakes!"
