Lerwick Town
Fascinating Aida
GENRE [Dillie]
Och aye
Och aye the noo
[Adèle, Dillie & Liza]
Summer's come, it'll never go away
Woohoo!
[Dillie]
Oh, island of tropical charms
Welcomes us with its swaying palms
Waves lap gently at the rocky shore
Land of pineapple, mango and whisky galore
[Adèle, Dillie & Liza]
Oh, Shetland, home sweet home
Where heather once sprouted in the loam
Now on this terrain, we've got sugar cane
And the sun beats down on Lerwick Town
[Dillie]
Where sheep once grazed, there are fine bananas
It's farewell puffins and hello iguanas!
It's haggis with dates and coconut bread
And we would eat some fish, but the fish are all dead
[Adèle, Dillie & Liza]
Oh, Shetland, the place to be
Shining jewel in a rising sea
By unbonnied banks, we will offer thanks
That the sun beats down on Lerwick Town
[Adèle]
This isle was once home to Viking marauders
Now the whole archipelago has closed its borders
If we want to survive, we have to be strong
It seems Greta Thunberg was right all along
[Adèle & Liza]
Oh, Shetland, what can we do?
Australia's burning and the Amazon too
By unbonnied brays, we will sing in praise
That the sun beats down on Lerwick Town
[Liza]
Down at the beach, it's so fantastic
Watching the tide dumping mountains of plastic
We are making the most of every day
[Adèle, Dillie & Liza]
'Cause any fuckin' minute we'll be washed away
Away, away
[Adèle & Liza]
Oh, Shetland, we love you still
If Ebola don't get us then malaria will
And before you've blinked, we will be extinct
As the sun beats down on Lerwick Town
The sun beats on down on Lerwick Town
The sun beats down
The sun beats down
The sun beats down
The sun
The sun
The sun
Seventy, eighty, ninety degrees
Summer's come, it'll never go away
Five trillion, six trillion dying bees
Summer's come, it'll never go away
Eighty, ninety, one hundred foot waves
Summer's come, it'll never go away
Six billion, seven billion, eight billion graves
Summer's come, it'll never go away
Och aye
Och aye the noo
[Adèle, Dillie & Liza]
Summer's come, it'll never go away
Woohoo!
