I'm afraid the fellows in Putney rather wish they had
The social ease and manners of a varsity undergrad
For though they're awfully decent and up to a lark as a rule
You want to have the varsity touch after a public school
We had a rag at Morney Close, we had a rag at the drop
And the one we had at the Barclay gave the customers quite a shock
Then we went to the Popular, and at the Beto Mine
I wish you'd seen the rag we had at the Grill Room at the Bly
I started a rag in Putney at our froth-brewers' branch down there
We got in a damned old lorry and drove to Trafalgar Square
And we each had a couple of toy balloons and made the hell of a din
And I saw a bobby at Parsons Green who looked like running us in
We had a rag at Morney Close, we had a rag at the drop
And the one we had at the Barclay gave the customers quite a shock
Then we went to the Popular, and at the Beto Mine
I wish you'd seen the rag we had at the Grill Room at the Bly
But that's nothing to the rag we had at the college the other night
We'd gallons and gallons of cider, and I got frightfully tight
And then we smashed up everything, and what was the funniest part?
We smashed some rotten old pictures, which were priceless works of art
We had a rag at Morney Close, we had a rag at the drop
And the one we had at the Barclay gave the customers quite a shock
Then we went to the Popular, and at the Beto Mine
I wish you'd seen the rag we had at the Grill Room at the Bly
And the one we had at the Barclay gave the customers quite a shock
There's something about a varsity man that distinguishes him from a cat
You can tell by his tie and blazer he's a varsity undergrad
And you know that he's always ready, and up to a bit of a lark
With a toy balloon and a whistle, and some cider after dark
The Varsity Students Rag
Hidey-dee-dee-hidey, by Jove, rah-rah!
