The badgers are coming down the hill,
banging on drums
Badger beats!
We sway to their rhythms,
in the hollow
Raising pints of cider triumphantly aloft
The badgers are coming down the hill,
slowly yet surely
Twisting and turning,
bouncing and bobbing
As if on a wave
about to break
The badgers are coming down the hill
Naughty badgers!
Mischievous
like Arthur Daley in Minder,
or Sooty's friend Sweep
or Howard Marx
But not like Frankenstein
For he was evil rather than mischievous
