Only half-a-song, this, really... an idea, rather than a Fully-Formed Thing... but one that made us smile. It would be delightful if one of the big cheeses in City Hall decided it should be adopted as, I don't know, the LGC anthem or something. And (for the attention of other local dignitaries in neighbouring towns...) please note that we ARE prepared to write equally complimentary ditties about Baldock, Hitchin, Stevenage, Biggleswade... IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT. Nudge, nudge.
lyrics
In Letchworth they call you ‘darling’
Even if they’re not your darling
I guess some people find it charming
I hope one of them is you
’Cos there are names I’d like to call you
That otherwise might appal you
If this queer scenario enthrals you
Well… I suggest you…
Come visit Letchworth
It’s the international capital of love
I could call you ‘darling’
In the international capital of love
It’s rude to not hold hands
In the international capital of love
Of love
So… come visit Letchworth
It’s the international capital of love
Half an hour from King’s Cross
To the international capital of love
It’s always bedtime in
The international capital of love
Of love
Of love
