Kate Rusby
The Village Green Preservation Society
[Verse 1]
We are the Village Green Preservation Society
God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
We are the Desperate Dan Appreciation Society
God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties

[Chorus]
Preserving the old ways from being abused
Protecting the new ways for me and for you
What more can we do?

[Verse 2]
We are the Draught Beer Preservation Society
God save Mrs. Mopp and good Old Mother Riley
We are the Custard Pie Appreciation Consortium
God save the George Cross and all those who awarded them

[Verse 3]
We are the Sherlock Holmes English Speaking Vernacular
Help save Fu Manchu, Moriarty and Dracula
We are the Office Block Persecution Affinity
God save little shops, china cups and virginity
We are the Skyscraper Condemnation Affiliate
God save Tudor houses, antique shops and billiards

[Chorus]
Preserving the old ways from being abused
Protecting the new ways for me and for you
What more can we do?
[Verse 1]
We are the Village Green Preservation Society
God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
We are the Desperate Dan Appreciation Society
God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties

[Refrain]
We are the Village Green Preservation Society
God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
God save the Village Green
