As "a Squire and Parson's paddock," just to keep poor yokels down,

But all that is to be altered, at the Radical's instigation,

We're settling on a village which shall have the charms of town.

It's shaped on Democratic lines, it is in nubibus yet,

But when Reform's set going, it's a horse that does not stop.

The House o' Commons has pronounced, and though old Tories fuss, yet

All understand the tyrant has the tip to shut up shop.

Chorus.

In the Village, new Village, a healthy little spot,
