The Bramblebury Band Song



Have you heard who's playing
here at this site tonight?
They will bring you merry music
which is always a delight.
But they are unsure
as to what should be their name.
So they make one up each time,
as a kind of party game.


Chorus:
The Band from Bramblebury
hasn't got a name.
They will just make one up as they play,
but the music stays the same!

Tibba plays the'orbo,
give the lass room to sway!
You'll end up with a bumped head
if you don't get out of the way!
The harper is Nimelia,
a bounder without fear.
Rather then hide behind a rock,
she prefers to do that here!

Chorus

Instrumental interlude. Bandmembers suggest names for their band

Chorus

short instrumental interlude. More name suggestions are made

Loves to hit the cowbell,
Akelay is her name.
Tooting like a maestro 't is
Anerra's favourite game.
Banging on that drumskin
Rubellita does it fine!
While Peppy plays the lute and tries
to keep them all in time.

Chorus

instrumental ending

((This is the signature tune of the Band from Bramblebury. It is best sung to the tune of "Down on the Corner" by CCR.))
