It's that time of the year - you need something to cheer,
When the days can be gloomy and grey -
An event's very near, which I'll recommend dear,
It's Otley's Victorian Day.
In Victorian apparel, come, join in a carol
And listen to street organs play,
See market stalls dressed with gifts of the best,
At Otley's Victorian Day.
The pubs do good trade, Christmas tables are laid,
If you want a meal, follow this way.
It's Christmas, make merry, with mince pies and sherry,
At Otley's Victorian Day.
See folks dance in their clogs in Victorian togs -
The music will cause you to sway,
All this singing and dancing can lead to romancing
At Otley's Victorian Day.
Here's my favourite shop, where I just want to stop,
See - they're handing out drinks from a tray -
Here's some stollen to try which I know I will buy,
At Otley's Victorian Day.
The handbells will ring with a tingaling-ling
And good things you'll find on display,
Shut the door on your jobs, come and follow the mobs
To Otley's Victorian Day.
