Sup up your beer
and collect
your fags
There's a row
going on
down near Slough
Get out your mat
and pray to
the West
I'll get out mine
and pray
for myself
Thought you were
smart when you
took them on
But you didn't
take a peep in
their artillery room
All that rugby
puts hairs
on your chest
What chance have
you got against
a tie and a crest
Hello Hooray
what a nice day
for the Eton Rifles
Hello Hooray, I
hope rain stops play
with the Eton Rifles
Thought you were
clever when you
lit the fuse
Tore down the
House of Commons
in your
brand new shoes
Compose a
revolutionary
symphony
Then went to bed
with a charming
young thing
Hello Hooray
cheers then mate,
it's the Eton Rifles
Hello Hooray
an extremist scrape
with the Eton Rifles
What a catalyst
you turned out
to be
Loaded the guns
then you run off
home for your tea
Left me standing
like a
guilty schoolboy
What a catalyst
you turned out
to be
Loaded the guns
then you run off
home for your tea
Left me standing
like a
guilty schoolboy
We came out
of it naturally
the worst
Beaten and bloody
and I was sick
down my shirt
We were
no match for
their untamed wit
Though some of
the lads said
they'll be back
next week
Hello Hooray
there's a price to pay
to the Eton Rifles
Eton Rifles
Hello Hooray
I'd prefer the plague
to the Eton Rifles
