Lyrics
Here on the hilltop, the hilltop of Highbury
You can see Hornsey and Highgate from here
Here on the hilltop, the hilltop of Highbury
You can see Hampstead, the air is so clear
The cows are contented, they’re chewing their cud
And they’re coming home now through the grass and the mud
Their milk is so marvellous, their cream is so creamy
You’d think you’re in heaven, so fill up your jug
Eat cheese when you please, be a true gourmandise
And we also have honey that’s made by our bees
On the top of the Vale, near the house of Bob Hales
Come and relax we can meet all your needs
