The Song of The Baker's Arms

Let's drink to Len and Douglas,
Let's drink to Simon too,
To Tommy, Bill and Eli,
And others quite a few.
But of all of Dorset's heroes
There's none that can beat the charms
Of Mr. and Mrs. Aber Gale
Of the dear old Baker's Arms

And now they're going to close it,
We can't believe it's right
But leave that till tomorrow
And let's drink deep tonight.
So let us raise our voices
From houses, fields and farms,
We'll never fail old Aber Gale
And the dear old Baker's Arms.
July 1957                     L.H.G.

This verse is from a framed original on the wall inside The Baker's Arms.
