From Torquay Joyce Packe
The Witness in a deck chair
In the courtroom upstairs
There in Palace Avenue
During World War Two
From Torquay Joyce Packe
Of the trial she kept track
Sworn in as the court reporter
Oh how we should applaud her
Would the trial be quite fair
In the courtroom upstairs
There in Paignton by the sea
In nineteen forty three
From Torquay Joyce Packe
Sporting the giveaway flash
She was the court recorder
Of trouble near the Cornish border
Would the trial enthral the nation
In the Paignton police station
The Daily Herald's man was there
In the courtroom upstairs
As the trial got underway
In October on a Friday
From Torquay Joyce Packe
Of the trial she kept track
Sworn in as the court reporter
Oh how we should applaud her
In the courtroom upstairs
There in Palace Avenue
During World War Two
From Torquay Joyce Packe
Of the trial she kept track
Sworn in as the court reporter
Oh how we should applaud her
Would the trial be quite fair
In the courtroom upstairs
There in Paignton by the sea
In nineteen forty three
From Torquay Joyce Packe
Sporting the giveaway flash
She was the court recorder
Of trouble near the Cornish border
Would the trial enthral the nation
In the Paignton police station
The Daily Herald's man was there
In the courtroom upstairs
As the trial got underway
In October on a Friday
From Torquay Joyce Packe
Of the trial she kept track
Sworn in as the court reporter
Oh how we should applaud her
