Old Torquay Adverts Lyrics

Job and Co made bottled drinks
In St Marychurch Torquay
I D Skinner in Torwood Street
Sold antiques and jewellery

Here's a song about old adverts
Of Paignton and Torquay
Apart from one old bottle
They're in Kelly's directory

T Sharpley turf accountant
In Paignton and Totnes
An account could be opened
With an approved reference

Here's a song about old adverts
Of Paignton and Torquay
Apart from one old bottle
They're in Kelly's directory

This old Kelly's directory
Of Paignton and Torquay
Sold for fifteen shillings
In the nineteen sixties

Torquay's finest ballroom
At Victoria parade
Dancing to the music
Of the bands that once there played
Of the bands that once there played
