“The king is in his counting house
Counting out his money”
But in Bickershaw near Wigan
The heap there isn’t funny
Escheated land belonging
To the King receives fly tipping
Criminals getting away with murder
The bud is set for nipping
But as the stench is worse and worse
Rats and flies attracted
The people living close to it
Are of course being impacted
A school and several families
Little children suffering so
And what’s the great King doing
And the councils, I don’t know
So much illegality
But they all get away
With dumping it and increasing it
Every sodding day
Hopefully Buckingham palace
Will achieve a good result
Order this pile of garbage cleared
And quickly
