Lyrics
Church hall Saturday Tombola spinning round Ticket forty-two Hear the number sound Forty-two! Forty-two! Small prize, big day Forty-two! Forty-two! Dance the whole hall away Walk up to the table Smile from ear to ear Bag of shortbread biscuits Winner standing here Forty-two! Forty-two! Small prize, big day Forty-two! Forty-two! Dance the whole hall away Doesn't have to be gold Doesn't have to be grand Lucky is lucky Hold it in your hand Forty-two! Forty-two! Small prize, big day Forty-two! Forty-two! Dance the whole hall away
