Torquay Pageant, Pt. 1
A passion for the past took the counties over
With historical pageants from Sherborne to Dover
In a seaside town in nineteen twenty four
There was a pageant, it had not had one before
Off to Rock End gardens
In the June sunshine
To enjoy the pageant
To have a jolly time
Now Mister Arthur Aplin a hero from the war
He was the pageant master his novels I adore
A playwright and an actor, he knew a thing or two
He said to the town, now it's up to you
Off to Rock End gardens
In the June sunshine
To enjoy the pageant
To have a jolly time
Vice Admiral McCully happened to be in Torbay
He opened the pageant during his short stay
Off to Rock End gardens
In the June sunshine
To enjoy the pageant
To have a jolly time
Now the pageant is forgotten and few will ever know
Of the many thousands who enjoyed the show
Yes the pageant is forgotten and few will ever know
Of the many thousands who enjoyed the show
With historical pageants from Sherborne to Dover
In a seaside town in nineteen twenty four
There was a pageant, it had not had one before
Off to Rock End gardens
In the June sunshine
To enjoy the pageant
To have a jolly time
Now Mister Arthur Aplin a hero from the war
He was the pageant master his novels I adore
A playwright and an actor, he knew a thing or two
He said to the town, now it's up to you
Off to Rock End gardens
In the June sunshine
To enjoy the pageant
To have a jolly time
Vice Admiral McCully happened to be in Torbay
He opened the pageant during his short stay
Off to Rock End gardens
In the June sunshine
To enjoy the pageant
To have a jolly time
Now the pageant is forgotten and few will ever know
Of the many thousands who enjoyed the show
Yes the pageant is forgotten and few will ever know
Of the many thousands who enjoyed the show
