| When red nosed Winter takes the road | B |
| An icicle his walking stick | C |
| When frost is on the woodman's load | B |
| And snow is falling fast and thick | C |
| Come lusty youth and sapless eld | B |
| Let's make a circle round the blaze | D |
| And talk of stumps | E |
| Of nasty bumps | E |
| That flew and came in sunny days | D |
| For Cricket is played again again | F |
| At freezing time in Hull or Bath | G |
| When summer's done the game's not gone | H |
| There's Cricket on the Hearth | I |

| Here's Jones from Rugby Eton Jack | J |
| And Grandpapa who long ago | K |
| Loved hitting when the Field was slack | J |
| And crumped the bowling swift or slow | K |
| No more he's nimble on the green | L |
| But what a history he tells | M |
| Of Surrey men | F |
| And hits for ten | F |
| And heaps of most tremendous Swells | M |
| For Cricket is played again again | F |
| At freezing time in Hull or Bath | G |
| When summer's done the game's not gone | H |
| There's Cricket on the Hearth | I |
| - | |
| The girls may call to Hide and Seek | N |
| And lovely lasses take the floor | O |
| But we discuss the Lob and Sneak | N |
| The Canvas Umpire Over Score | O |
| How great a game to fill July | P |
| May June and August with delights | Q |
| Yet in the frost | B |
| Be never lost | B |
| But stir the blood on nipping nights | Q |
| For Cricket is played again again | F |
| At freezing times in Hull or Bath | G |
| When summer's done the game's not gone | H |
| There's Cricket on the Hearth | I |
