We are the "Crustys" "Ditch dwellers" "Water pikeys" "River gypsy's" "Linear scum" We live in our narrowboats Widebeams, yogurt pots Dutch barges, old lifeboats And many a converted punt Our life is on the waterways Our no 1 rule; "don't be a cunt" The weathy moor among the poor In an eccentric eclectic line Bright paintwork shines bright Next to the mossy The in-betweeners The projects and down and out's Around us all, our beloved cut Filled with fluffy ducklings just now Leading to diffrent villages Diffrent locals Diffrent towns
