Grasshoppers of Wembury

The local village cricket club play in the grounds of Wembury House during the summer months


Sun on the green
Cricket today
Friends all around
Grasshoppers play

John at the wicket
Nigel with the gloves
James takes a run
Pete shows the love

Billy hits high
Nick’s running through
Neil’s on the boundary
Martin’s waving too


We are the Grasshoppers
Wembury, that’s our home
Raise a glass at the Odd Wheel
Never play alone

Game moves slow
Reggae in the breeze
Laughter and cheering
Everyone’s at ease

Cold drinks in hand
Stories to share
Cricket at Wembury
Good times everywher

We are the Grasshoppers
Wembury, that’s our home
Raise a glass at the Odd Wheel
Never play alone

Sun getting lower
Still playing on
Smiles all around
The good days are long


Grasshoppers of Wembury
We sing this song

We are the Grasshoppers
Wembury, that’s our home
Raise a glass at the Odd Wheel
Never play alone
