Accompanying Audrey Hepburn

The Withernwick Ramblers Skiffle Group
Not exactly an enterprising name
But  we did however have
One unique  claim to fame.
We accompanied Audrey Hepburn, 
Famous Film Star, yes that’s the one
That elfin faced great actress
Now so very sadly  gone,

The Six Five SpeciaL National Skiffle Contest
The only one there’s ever been
Heats at the Star Cinema Hornsea and
We were  behind the Silver Screen
The film was  War and Peace
Saturday afternoon Matinee showing
And our last rehearsal 
Before the heats  got going.

So, we accompanied Audrey Hepburn
But I don’t suppose she ever knew
About those four Yorkshire lads  
Murdering Worried Man Blues
We came fifth out of four
But that was outdone by by far
By the fact that we’d in theory 
Accompanied a Hollywood Star.
