lyrics

National Trust

We drive Land Rovers we like brushcutters
Butterflies and glow-worms slow worms and sand lizards
We know the difference between the shovels and spades
We've got Belted Galloway's
We are mostly underpaid our green shirts don't help us to get laid

We're the National Trust Mother Hubbard trust us we've got it all under control
We're the National Trust Mother Hubbard trust us we've got it all under control

We like to put up signs we protect the countryside

We drive Land Rovers we prefer red to white clovers
We've got nice warm pullovers we have outdoor sleepovers
We are friends to ant and spider we make our own cider
We've got great big shiny tractors built bought by wealthy benefactors
From the Mighty Eagle to the tiny little ball from the long eared owl
To the long eared bat to the silver studded blue caterpillar
