Cook's Delight

This is sung to the old tune I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

Berkhamsted Town has got its share of 4 by 4's
Gas guzzling, and pumping Co2
A Supermarket Giant with extra powerful jaws
Gobbling up the Specialists is what it likes to do
Lots of them have fallen by the wayside
As the Giants Car-Park grows and grows and grows
Local shops devoured, people overpowered
Its all been happening underneath our nose
Yes its all been happening underneath our nose
Convenience, the catchword I suppose
But now Transition Time
And here's my little rhyme
The network of Transition Towns must grow

Here we are together lovely people
Carbon neutral we must get it right
Totnes is a place I think its truly ace
Adopt, adapt and implement alright
Yes adopt adapt and implement alright
Transition we must never e're lose sight
From oil dependency the wider plan must be
That we'll succeed and our Town will be bright

Danny Bonnett is the man to teach us all
He knows it works a treat all round the place
Totnes, Falmouth, Bristol if it can happen there
Then why not to Berkhamsted, a place we we all can share
Transition Towns are something to aspire to
Bring the local shops back to the scene
progress will be made now the foundations laid
Climate change and making our town green
Adopt adapt and implement today
We can do it, for there is a way
Wave goodbye to greed we can all succeed
Transition Town Berkhamsted what do you say
