You have pulled it off | B |
As all men know | C |
This ode | D |
Will make Oxford pretty sick | E |
But the spoils are to the victor | F |
If Oxford had rowed better | F |
And won | G |
They should have had a nice new ode | D |
Like good boys | H |
But they have been and gone and lost | I |
And are therefore | J |
Not fit subjects | K |
For immortal verse | L |
Pah | M |
I pass by Oxford | N |
As for you dear Cambridge | A |
Here's to you | O |
In spite of your long and honourable connection | G |
With the manufacture | F |
Of sossiges | L |
There appears to be something in you | O |
Which is more than can be said | P |
For some of the sossiges | L |
Cambridge my own | Q |
You have won the bowt rice | L |
'Ave a drink | R |
What is the good of winning the bowt rice | L |
If you don't 'ave a drink | R |
I don't know | C |
And I'm sure you don't | S |
Also what is the good | T |
Of winning the bowt rice | L |
At all | U |
I give it up | V |
Yes I do really | W |
Please do let me give it up | V |
You have won | G |
You can afford to be generous | L |
Suffer me to indulge my little whim | X |
There is no good | T |
In winning the bowt rice Cambridge | A |
No good at all | U |
On the other hand | Y |
When I come to think of it | Z |
I am not quite sure | A2 |
That to have rowed | D |
In the Cambridge boat | B2 |
Which won the bowt rice | L |
Is materially to have damaged | C2 |
One's prospects or career | D2 |
At the very least it makes one safe | E2 |
For a tutor's job | F2 |
At per annum | G2 |
And what self respecting person from Cambridge | A |
Could wish for more | J |
I have heard of a man | H2 |
Who rowed | D |
In a winning Cambridge boat | B2 |
And is now driving | I2 |
A hansom cab | J2 |
And I have heard of another man | H2 |
Who omitted to row | C |
In a winning Cambridge boat | B2 |
And is now driving a four wheeler | F |
You see the difference of course | L |
After all | U |
To row | C |
In a winning Cambridge boat | B2 |
Does give one | G |
A sort of start in life | K2 |
And don't you forget it | Z |
Always remember my dear Cambridge who you are | L2 |
You licked Oxford by five lengths | L |
In | M2 |
This is probably | W |
All you will get | N2 |
For your father's money | W |
Be thankful | O2 |
