KEEP OUR AMBULANCE CAR

(CHORUS)
Save our ambulance car
Save our ambulance car
Save our ambulance car
If we sing it loud today it may stay

(Verse 1)
Why take away our ambulance car
We cannot know what the emergencies are
It’s a lifesaver, help giver, to young and old
Join the cause, don’t let it fold

Many a tale of old and frail
And new life saved without fail
Just yesterday morning, it’s out calling
To a neighbour falling, another life saved

(CHORUS)
So save our ambulance car
Save our ambulance car
Keep our ambulance car
If we sing it loud today it can stay

(Verse 2)
So let us reach out and join together 
The time is now before it’s lost forever
Those four wheels bind our community
Let’s make a stand, Purbeck in unity

Our ambulance car, a lifesaver
Where ever you are, it’ll be there
The journey’s too far, without their care
You don’t know what you’ve got till its gone

(CHORUS) x 3
So keep our ambulance car
Keep our ambulance car
Keep our ambulance car
If we sing it loud today- it will stay

(CHORUS – Final Time)
Our ambulance car
Keep our ambulance car 
Keep our ambulance car 

Keep our ambulance car

Our Community Sings Our Song!
