Summer Weeding

Summer weeding had me a blast

Summer weeding happened so fast

We met in Richmond , group run GG,

onto Buccleuch, fast as can be

Summer days weeding away

Oh-ah! Oh, the summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more

Like did Three Pigeons star?

doo ah hah, doo ah hah, doo ah hah ..doo

The arcade was opened, tools got decamped

onto Three Pigeons, dry plants made damp.

Down by the river, the steps and surround

We showed off, clearing the ground Summer sun, gardening fun

But ah! Oh, the summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Did the Plot look alright?

Tell me more, tell me more

Did weeds put up a fight?

Shoo Da Bop Bop, Shoo Da Bob Bob Shoo Da Bop Bop Yeah…

Took to composting, down by the Arcade

We went sweeping, litter was raized,

We cleared out, all-round the plot

We stayed working, past eight o'clock

Summer stings, were a bit of a thing

But ah! Oh, the summer nights

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Tell me more, tell me more

Did the litter get bagged?

Tell me more, tell me more

Was the weeding a drag?

Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop Shoo bop bop, yeah!

We got friendly, chat, tools in hand

Well, we got fitter, working the land.
Task complete, turn out thirteen*

Well, it was good, you know what I mean

Summer heat, GoodGym meet

But ah! Oh, the summer nights

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Tell me more, tell me more

How great it looked at the end!!!!

Tell me more, tell me more

Could we do it again?

It turned eight thirty, that's where it ends

A GoodGym photo with all of our friends

Then we made … our group social vow

onto the White Cross, we’re running now

Summer team, achieving great things

But, oh

Those summer nights!

(Tell me more, tell me more, more, more)
