Refuse to think it's OK
Refuse to just accept
That cans of drink once emptied
Can then be simply left
Refuse to let our Clevedon
Be spoiled by rubbish dropped
'Round overflowing litter bin
It surely could be stopped
Enjoy the chips and fillet
But don't throw down the box
So catering detritus
Can blow onto the rocks
If bin has reached capacity
Please put waste in a bag
And take it home to where you live
It isn't such a fag
For antisocial actions
We really have no use
You may all like our seafront
But don't leave your refuse.
