The Myths And Legends Of King Merton Womble And His Journey To The Centre Of The Earth The Wombles

[Verse 1]
Of all the days of radio and telephones and trains
I wonder if ever knights in armor rode the Wimbledon plains
I wonder if ever a Womble King put down his tidy-bag
And extricated from a stone the sword Excallywag

[Verse 2]
With coats of arms akimbo
Astride his coal-black steed
The Womble King of England had earnestly decreed:
"We all must make a journey to prove our knightly worth
We're off to have a picnic at the centre of the Earth"

[Chorus 1]
So the Womble knights of England
Came riding through the glade
In the trees, the birds were singing
As they made their bold crusade
They were led by brave King Merton
Of noble Womble birth
When they rode from Wimbledon Common
To the centre of the Earth

[Verse 3]
They came to the land of Putney
Where the ancient river runs
A thousand armoured trash collectors
Glistening in the sun
With standards flying to the wind
They started their descent
Deep into the mountainside
Sweeping as they went
