wombles song

[geranium]

Anyone remember the words?

Underground, overground,
wombling free
the Wombles of Wimbledon Common
are we

making good use of the things
that we find
the things that the every day folk
leave behind

anything else?

Uncle Bulgaria......tral aalallllala erm stuck now sorry

uncle bulgaria

Underground, Overground, Wombling Free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.
Making good use of the things that we find,
Things that the everyday folks leave behind.

Uncle Bulgaria,
He can remember the days when he wasn't behind The Times,
With his map of the World.
Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory!

Wombles are organized, work as a team.
Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean.
Underground, Overground, wombling free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we!

People don't notice us, they never see,
Under their noses a Womble may be.
We womble by night and we womble by day,
Looking for litter to trundle away.

We're so incredibly, utterly devious
Making the most of everything.
Even bottles and tins.
Pick up the pieces and make them into something new,
Is what we do!

Uncle Bulgaria,

Looking for litter to trundle away.

wow! you guys rock! what fantastic memories!

oooh clever clogs! I still have a cuddly womble somewhere! (not a real one obviously )

The Wombles - Remember You're A Womble Lyrics
The Wombles Lyrics - Remember You're A Womble Lyrics
When the sun doesn't shine
And it's cloudy and grey
And it's only the beginning
Or the wombling day.
And you've got to do the washing
For Madame Colet.
Remember
remember
remember
remember
Remember
remember
remember:
Remember you're a womble
Remember you're a womble
Remember you're a womble
Remember you're a womble.
Remember
'member
'member
What a womble
womble
womble you are.
When it's foggy on the common
And you just can't see
And I womble into you
And you womble into me.
Just remember
we're so lucky
To be womblin' free.
Remember
remember
remember
remember
Remember you're a womble
Remember you're a womble

And before you ask here is the other one

The Wombles Lyrics - Banana Rock Lyrics
Ooh
la la la la
hey banana
don't you slip on the skin.
Ooh
la la la la
hey banana.
Womble up the rubbish and put it in the bin.
We have the solution to the polution
I think it is easy to guess.
It is so amazing. Instead of just lazing
We certainly sweep up and clean the mess.
Ooh
la la la la
hey banana
. . .
Bungo play the guitar now
He thinks he's a star now
He sings to the coconut tree
Whenever we feel glum
we play the steel drum
We certainly sing the night away.
Ooh
la la la la
hey banana

Smarty pants

now that i am feeling over the hill..... does anyone remember banana splits? was that a show or just a million year ago memory?

what about minuetto allegretto (sp?)

lots of wombles lyrics here

you're all very kind, thank you! (by the way, it's not for the kids - it's for me and dh . When the kids are squabbling, we find the best way to unite them is for us to start singing Wombles songs (or banana splits) with gusto. Then the boys get terribly embarrassed and slope off, togehter, mumbling about how embarrassing we are.

RTKMonherBroomstick and others,

Many thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Ds will be delighted I can now sing the whole song and as an added bonus I've just found two Wombles books in the loft!

Thanks again. I knew MN would come up trumps!

DH is a supporter of AFC Wimbledon, also known as The Wombles, and he maintains that the actual Womble song is as follows (to be sung to the tune of Rod Stewart's "Sailing"):

We are wombles
Super wombles
We are wombles
From the Lane

We are wombles
Super wombles
We are wombles
We drink champagne

We drink champagne
We snort cocaine
We've got ladies
over here

You've got shit jobs
You shag your dogs
And your wife is
On the game

We drink Campari
We drive Ferraris
We've got Wombles
In our lives

You've got busstops
Second-hand shops
And your Mum's in
Reader's Wives

Wombles
clap clap clapWomblesclap clap clap
Wombles

(segue into a rousing rendition of that well-known kiddies' favourite "Oh South London oh South London Is Wonderful is wonderful", full lyrics of which he promises to post to those sufficiently suvvern to appreciate its anti-Nawf Landan sentiments)
