The Southdowns Shanty
To celebrate this year’s event, and to highlight Southdowns Motorhome Centre’s sponsorship of the “Shanty Showdown”, we’ve written our very own shanty:
(Verse 1)
Oh, the winds are a-blowin’ o’er Southdowns green,
Where the hills meet the sea, what a sight to be seen,
With a song in our hearts and a pint in our hands,
We gather together, the finest o’ bands!
(Chorus)
Heave ho, lads and lasses, sing loud and clear,
Southdowns Motorhomes, they bring us good cheer,
With wheels on the road and a festival grand,
They carry our spirit across this fair land!
(Verse 2)
From Chichester’s gates to the Worthing shore,
We dance and we revel, our spirits do soar,
Thanks to the sponsors who make it all flow,
Southdowns Motorhomes, we’re ready to go!
(Chorus)
Heave ho, lads and lasses, sing loud and clear,
Southdowns Motorhomes, they bring us good cheer,
With wheels on the road and a festival grand,
They carry our spirit across this fair land!
(Verse 3)
So gather ye folk, from far and from wide,
In Southdowns’ embrace, we all shall abide,
With fiddles and drums, we’ll sing through the night,
As the motorhomes shine in the soft lantern light.
(Chorus)
Heave ho, lads and lasses, sing loud and clear,
Southdowns Motorhomes, they bring us good cheer,
With wheels on the road and a festival grand,
They carry our spirit across this fair land!
(Outro)
Now the festival’s done, and the moon’s on the rise,
We’ll remember this day with a smile in our eyes,
Thanks to the road that brought us all here,
Southdowns Motorhomes, we’ll see you next year!
