Sound the claxon

 The people of Wells

Are singing their kells

And walking the path with their feet


The people of Shepton

Are blowing their claxon

And sounding a march in retreat


For you know when they join 

The two sides of the coin

Both will be facing defeat


For the Sheptonians are like stone

And the Wellsonians like bone

And it will be like when two tribes meet


So perhaps don't try to bridge the gap

That once fell from the map

But instead let sleeping dogs sleep
