Holme School Song.

(Here, by special request, are the words of Holme School Song.

"Old boys" will notice a few changes.)

Holme-next-the-Sea is where we all love to be

And so of Holme-next-the-Sea we sing our song.

Long, long ago, in distant days,

Our forbears walked those sandy ways,

Holme-next-the-Sea, where all roads lead to the sea:

And Peddars Way still runs through Holme-next-the-Sea.

The Wild North Sea, it rolls close by.

Across the foam the sea-birds cry.

Holme-next-the-Sea: The sea-shore calls you and me!

And well those old sailors knew Holme-next-the-Sea.

(and the Inevitable "handkerchief verse":)

When we leave school, and go away

Where'er we are, we'll always say:

"Holme-next-the-Sea: We love our home by the sea,

And we shall never forget Holme-next-the-Sea"
