Alternative School Song
This is an "alternative" School song, usually sung at music events,
pantos etc.
That you reach by puffing up the rake.
You feel fit to drop,
When you reach the top
Of the climb you thought you’d never make.
Holcombe Village,
That is lit by a car park light,
On the phone box form,
When it’s nice and warm
That’s the place to meet your friends at night.
We were all brought up at this school,
And we live by the Parkinson rule
So when we say:
“Yip i – o – i –o – i – ay”
We’re only saying
“You’re doing fine Holcombe Village”
Holcombe Village, OK !”
