  • Taking a trip up to Abergavenny
    Hoping the weather is fine
    If you should see a red dog running free
    Well, you know he's mine

    A chase in the hills up to Abergavenny
    I've got to get there and fast
    If you can't go
    Then I promise to show you a photograph

    Ah, passing the time with paradise people
    Paradise people are fine by me
    Sunshine forever, lovely weather
    Don't you wish you could be.....

    Taking a trip up to Abergavenny
    Hoping the weather is fine
    If you should see a red dog running free
    Well, you know he's mine

    Ah, passing the time with paradise people
    Paradise people are fine by me
    Sunshine forever, lovely weather
    Don't you wish you could be.....

    A chase in the hills up to Abergavenny
    I've got to get there and fast
    If you can't go
    Then I promise to show you a photograph
    A little photograph, a little photograph
    Up to Abergavenny
