Our hotel is well past its best
Does it deserve a Royal crest?
We think we\u2019ve come
To our nursing home
One foot in the grave every guest<\/p>

Six miles of funfair decay
Caravans jammed where they may
How badly our nation
Needs rejuvenation
I hope they sweep this lot away<\/p>

For Grimsby we\u2019ve got a long list
Of things that are not to be missed
The Old Clee and the Docks
A man who made clocks
A father-in-law\u2019s home is the twist<\/p>

We manage most of these, thank god
(The clock maker\u2019s a Grimsby fraud)
Having finished with wheels
The reward is in Steel\u2019s
Where I\u2019ve been told not to order the cod<\/p>

We missed out on the tarts tonight
We\u2019ll pick them up in daylight
No, not dodgy birds
But haslet or curd
Which, I\u2019m told, can also delight.<\/p>

12 days, 600 miles, five minutes of light rain, one puncture, one new wheel, one broken key, a couple of mishaps and a lot of fun.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
