And we hit the posts in and we made them sing
And the rubber hammer was like a tuning fork thing
It tuned into all the Gods in the clouds above
And Thor came down to hit the posts in for us
With each thunderbolt
He electrified the fences
And then he swore at all the posts
But they never once took offences
Thor was a most willing volunteer that day
When the rain came down on the Strawberry Line
And we all began to pray
"Thor just get us out of here!"
"Thor just finish the job!"
And Thor came down and brought his tools
For Thor's that kind of God
I wish I'd known him better
Maybe asked for his autograph perhaps
But hey I'm just a man of letters
And he's a man of action 'n' thunderclaps
There stands another post driven into the ground
Hark you can hear the hammer ring another pound
I lost sight of him just around 4 o'clock in the afternoon
The rain was falling heavily, total eclipse of sun and moon
But then I saw him going down over the hill like the sun
He sure was a son of Shepton Mallet
And if he wasn't, then I'd be a son of a gun
