    Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor
    A beautiful day, we had lunch on the way and all for under a pound you know
    But on the way back I cuddled with Jack and we opened a bottle of cider
    Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went around

    Do you recall the thrill of it all as we walked along the sea grand
    Then on the sand we heard a brass band that played the Diddlely-Bump-Terrara
    Elsie and me had one cup of tea then we took a Paddler boat out
    Splashing away as we sat on the bay and the wheels went 'round

    Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor
    A beautiful day, we had lunch on the way and all for under a pound you know
    But on the way back I cuddled with Jack and we opened a bottle of cider
    Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went around

    Wasn't it nice, eating chocolate ice as we strolled around the fun-fair
    Then we ate eels in big ferris wheels as we sailed around the ground but then
    We had to be quick 'cause Elsie felt sick and we had to find somewhere to take her
    I said to her lad, what made her feel bad was the wheel going 'round

    Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor
    A beautiful day, we had lunch on the way and all for under a pound you know
    But on the way back I cuddled with Jack and we opened a bottle of cider
    Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went around

    Elsie and me, we finished our tea and said goodbye to the seaside
    Got on the bus, Flo said to us, oh isn't it a shame to go
    Wouldn't it be grand to have cash on demand and to live like this for always
    Oh it makes me feel ill, when I think of the mill and the wheels goin' 'round

    Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor

    I have lived in Bangor for much of the last 40 years and always hated that song and the rasping voice of the female lead singer who sang it. In fairness it was supposed to be about Bangor North Wales. I for one wouldn't be quick to claim it.

    Correct, this song is about Bangor in Wales.
