six ganders went missing
from the mannings farm one day
they had all had enough
they had all decided to run away
old granfer he looked
and he asked grandson ray
have you seen the ganders anywheres today
they looked in the cow shed
they looked on the canford heath
they looked in the copper house
they looked in the meadows
they wernt with the sheep
they looked in the allotments
they looked in the pigs stys
they looked in the brickyard
the gravel pits too
and asked folks going by
have you seen the ganders
anywhere in poole
the ganders had scarpered
couldnt be found
just then the dorset echo boy
brought the daily papers around
they were there on the front page
six ganders been found
their picture so bold
headlines -six ganders go a walking
along wallisdown road
theyd stopped all the traffic
they caused a great din
their hissing n squawking
twas a terrible sin
we went to the cop shop
to take them back home
those naughty six ganders
that went on the roam
