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

Then we made … our group social vow

Summer team, achieving great things
But, oh
Those summer nights!

Stunning report. A missed vocation as a lyricist....unless that's what you actually are, Anita!
