The Drinking Fountains of Torquay
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
When you've toiled up Meadfoot Hill
Take a rest and drink your fill
Mr Trant has built a fountain
If you climb this seaside mountain
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
To Watcombe on a cycle run
To Lion Rocks you go for fun
At the fountain take a rest
Mr Bosanquet's name be blessed
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
But Torquay's mayor and corporation
Have caused some local aggravation
Ellacombe's fountains have run dry
The public want the reason why
The drinking fountains of Torquay
Will surely quench your thirst for free
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
At Old Maid's Perch and Penny's Hill
St Marychurch and Chapel Hill
All around old Torquay town
Drinking fountains can be found
Drinking fountains can be found
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
When you've toiled up Meadfoot Hill
Take a rest and drink your fill
Mr Trant has built a fountain
If you climb this seaside mountain
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
To Watcombe on a cycle run
To Lion Rocks you go for fun
At the fountain take a rest
Mr Bosanquet's name be blessed
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
But Torquay's mayor and corporation
Have caused some local aggravation
Ellacombe's fountains have run dry
The public want the reason why
The drinking fountains of Torquay
Will surely quench your thirst for free
Tea and coffee is too dear
Come and drink the water clear
Leave the cider leave the beer
Come and drink the water clear
At Old Maid's Perch and Penny's Hill
St Marychurch and Chapel Hill
All around old Torquay town
Drinking fountains can be found
Drinking fountains can be found
