Lyrics and tune by Siobhán an Einigh

Lyrics
I stepped out too early one fine meeting day

Returned to a new job or two

Now I've been tasked, as is our way,

To sing this whole song for you

__

Chorus
We're the kindest unkindness you ever shall meet

Service and fun we create

We're the Shire of Ravenslake , No mistake 

We're the Shire of Ravenslake

(Ravens Lake lake lake lake

No mistake stake stake stake

Have some cake cake cake cake

Ravenslake!)

__

No barons to lead us, we reward our own

For all of the work we do

We guard the north border of our fair land

Cheerfully singing our tunes

__
Chorus
__

We have boccee and crafts and rapier too

All of the typical games

The Beaver Academy beckons to you

Silly is our name
__
Chorus
