Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB DEDEFGFG HBHBIBIB| Oh what a pleasant game is life | A |
| When we are bravely batting | B |
| And glorying in skill and strife | A |
| We scorn defensive patting | B |
| As Fate sends down the easy ones | C |
| We set the ball a soaring | B |
| Straight to the fence and pile up runs | C |
| And go on scoring scoring | B |
| - | |
| A week it lasts a month a year | D |
| Ten years if luck holds steady | E |
| No crafty trick may wake our fear | D |
| For every move we're ready | E |
| No matter how the ball is bumped | F |
| We are so sure so clever | G |
| We can't be caught or bowled or stumped | F |
| We're set We're in forever | G |
| - | |
| But comes a time as I have found | H |
| When in our carefree playing | B |
| Life's game in this vast cricket ground | H |
| Grows suddenly dismaying | B |
| Just as we think we're set to peg | I |
| Away thro' centuries rolling | B |
| Fate shifts his fieldsmen to the leg | I |
| And starts in body bowling | B |
