Don’t Drink on October 31st

With open arms I welcome you to Saltaire.

I wonder what has brought you here?

Is it the village delights beyond compare,

or do Victorian times hold you dear?

But alas, my new best friend;

I'm only trying to be nice.

Troubles times are round the bend

if you don't heed my simple advice.

I know you're going to shed a tear,

but don't drink on October 31st –

not even a tiny drop of golden beer.

There are other ways to quench your thirst.

You see Titus Salt; God bless his soul,

dislikes alcohol-induced immaturity.

He built this village and made it whole.

So have your tipple in any other city.

If you get drunk on Halloween,

Titus Salt is a ghost that must be feared.

He will wipe your soul clean

with his long white beard.

Pop in to 6 Victoria Road!

Be amazed at what they give

in their humble adobe.

Just don't tell Titus if you want to live.
