The Christmas Market

 Oh the markets were open

Down Glastonbury way

And stalls beside the Abbey foundations

And the way that it came and the way that it sways

The shoppers fulfilled invitations

And parked their trolleys and baskets

And they filled them up to the brim

With presents and books

And old fashioned hooks

And pieces of blue fabric and of string

And they decorated their houses

And they pasted it up on the wall

And the Christmas shoppers

Came out in their thousands

Just to collect up the balls

This was the Glastonbury Market

The fair, the fair of the wares

And they came to see

Just what could be

Then they rushed off to finish their pears
