The Eton Rifles |
Sup up your beer and collect your fags |
There’s a row going on down near Slough |
Get out your mat and pray to the West |
I’ll get out mine and pray for myself |
Thought you were smart when you took them on |
But you didn’t take a peep in their artillery room |
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest |
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest? |
Hello-hurray, what a nice day |
For the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
Hello-hurray, I hope rain stops play |
For the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse |
Tore down the House of Commons in your brand new shoes |
Composed a revolutionary symphony |
Then went to bed with a charming young thing |
Hello-hurray, cheers then, mate |
It’s the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
Hello-hurray, an extremist scrape |
With the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
What a catalyst you turned out to be |
Loaded the guns, then you run off home for your tea |
Left me standing like a guilty schoolboy |
What a catalyst you turned out to be |
Loaded the guns, then you run off home for your tea |
Left me standing like a naughty schoolboy |
We came out of it naturally the worst |
Beaten and bloody, and I was sick down my shirt |
We were no match for their untamed wit |
Though some of the lads said they’d be back next week |
Hello-hurray, it’s the price to pay |
To the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
Hello-hurray, I’d prefer the plague |
To the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
Hello-hurray, it’s the price to pay |
To the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
Hello-hurray, I’d prefer the plague |
To the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles |
