Hail The Ball |
| They’re gathering at Cloffocks |
| In the late afternoon |
| Testosterone in T shirts |
| The game’s beginning soon |
| An ancient war-like struggle |
| For the Park or harbour wall |
| The Uppies and the Downies |
| Wage a battle for the ball |
| Hail, hail the ball |
| Hail the barbarians |
| Running along the Harbour Wall |
| The ball is up, they’re in the beck |
| The scrum is hard and tight |
| The ball flies out away they run |
| The beat the failing light |
| They’re ploughing up the cricket pitch |
| And allotments of the town |
| Stand back, stand back, bystander |
| Or the scrum will run you down |
| Laughing, pushing flexing style |
| Dark determined eyes |
| Thousands crowd the high-ground |
| Murmuring asides |
| They think the ball is the pack |
| In the blood and muck and dirt |
| But there are no rules in this game |
| It’s stuffed up Millican’s shirt |
