From the cobblestones, to the hills of green
Timeless vision of a Batley scene
Rich in history, diversity and faith
United in pride, friendship and praise
Vibrant in colour, fragrance and sound
Pleasant by nature, friendly all round
Red bricks, sand bricks, chimneys and slate
Walls and rooftops that makes Batley great
Towering clock, in the market square
Memorial gardens to show we care
Passing strangers with a friendly nod
A place where friends don’t mind being odd
And then I witnessed from a cobble bay
When Batley united, for Festival day
A final boast, I think I should add
It’s nice to be a Batley lad.
