Many moons ago the great bells tolled,
of an ancient city paved with gold.
Where a curious boy, whose name was Dick,
carried his bundle on the end of a stick!

To the great lights he headed with his cat by his side,
together their strides were mighty wide!
They searched for the city with its pot of dreams,
of fame and fortune and custard creams.

But a great evil lurks in the thick of the night,
to steal our dreams and put out the light.
A demonic rat with awesome fangs,
is set to storm London with his vermin gangs!

The world’s worst nightmare is about to come true.
The rats have gone underground at Waterloo!
Those dirty rats must be flushed down the pan,
so we need your help at the Everyman!!!

Dig out your platforms, bouffant your hair,
swing your bellbottoms, Dick must be Lord Mayor!
The beat is throbbing, the drums are drumming!
Hold on tight Dick Whittington is coming!
