 The Ballad of Hampstead Heath

From Heaven's Gate to Hampstead Heath Young Bacchus and his crew Came tumbling down, and o'er the town Their bursting trumpets blew.

The silver night was wildly bright, And madly shone the Moon To hear a song so clear and strong, With such a lovely tune.

From London's houses, huts and flats, Came busmen, snobs, and Earls, And ugly men in bowler hats With charming little girls.

Sir Moses came with eyes of flame, Judd, who is like a bloater, The brave Lord Mayor in coach and pair, King Edward, in his motor.
