Gold Hill is a bold hill
As steep as steep can be
At the top it's a fair old drop
But so much there to see
Wow and whoosh! The sheer drama of the panorama
Is wondrous to behold
You could be flying on a magic carpet
But you're not you've just been told
'Course it was famously shot by Ridley Scott
For the Hovis brand
To the plaintive strains of a colliery band
And wasn't that just grand?!
[Hums] Daa-dee-daa
Dee-da=da
Daa-daa-daa dee-dee
But beyond the cobbles
And beyond the bread
There's a lot more to Shaftesbury
It must be said
Just Listen to Alfred
It's on every day
If you're local you can listen to Alfred
And have your say
Shaftesbury to Semley, Motcombe to Melbury
You'll not be left out
What about the Donheads?! I hear you shout
Yes, Donheads St Andrew, St Mary, St James
All within reach ~ not out of range
Community gossip, anything topical, anything strange
You text, you message, you post, you tweet
See? It's all rather slick and rather neat
[Hazel interjects]
You can record yourself too
Like you're fond to do
Captured on podcasts so it all lasts
Forever and a day.
Marvellous, eh?!
[Hazel again]
Aaaargh!
