My dear CambridgeA
You have pulled it offB
As all men knowC
This odeD
Will make Oxford pretty sickE
But the spoils are to the victorF
If Oxford had rowed betterF
And wonG
They should have had a nice new odeD
Like good boysH
But they have been and gone and lostI
And are thereforeJ
Not fit subjectsK
For immortal verseL
PahM
I pass by OxfordN
As for you dear CambridgeA
Here's to youO
In spite of your long and honourable connectionG
With the manufactureF
Of sossigesL
There appears to be something in youO
Which is more than can be saidP
For some of the sossigesL
Cambridge my ownQ
You have won the bowt riceL
'Ave a drinkR
What is the good of winning the bowt riceL
If you don't 'ave a drinkR
I don't knowC
And I'm sure you don'tS
Also what is the goodT
Of winning the bowt riceL
At allU
I give it upV
Yes I do reallyW
Please do let me give it upV
You have wonG
You can afford to be generousL
Suffer me to indulge my little whimX
There is no goodT
In winning the bowt rice CambridgeA
No good at allU
On the other handY
When I come to think of itZ
I am not quite sureA2
That to have rowedD
In the Cambridge boatB2
Which won the bowt riceL
Is materially to have damagedC2
One's prospects or careerD2
At the very least it makes one safeE2
For a tutor's jobF2
At per annumG2
And what self respecting person from CambridgeA
Could wish for moreJ
I have heard of a manH2
Who rowedD
In a winning Cambridge boatB2
And is now drivingI2
A hansom cabJ2
And I have heard of another manH2
Who omitted to rowC
In a winning Cambridge boatB2
And is now driving a four wheelerF
You see the difference of courseL
After allU
To rowC
In a winning Cambridge boatB2
Does give oneG
A sort of start in lifeK2
And don't you forget itZ
Always remember my dear Cambridge who you areL2
You licked Oxford by five lengthsL
InM2
This is probablyW
All you will getN2
For your father's moneyW
Be thankfulO2
