The Varsity Students’ Rag

Lyrics

I'm afraid the fellows in Putney rather wish they had The social ease and manners of a varsity undergrad For tho' they're awf'lly decent and up to a lark as a rule You want to have the varsity touch after a public school We had a rag at Monico's. We had a rag at the Troc., And the one we had at the Berkeley gave the customers quite a shock Then we went to the Popular, and after that, oh my! I wish you'd seen the rag we had in the Grill Room at the Cri I started a rag in Putnеy at our Frothblower's Branch down there; Wе got in a damn'd old lorry and drove to Trafalgar Square; And we each had a couple of toy balloons and made the hell of a din And I saw a bobby at Parson's Green who looked like running us in We had a rag at Monico's. We had a rag at the Troc., And the one we had at the Berkeley gave the customers quite a shock Then we went to the Popular, and after that, oh my! I wish you'd seen the rag we had in the Grill Room at the Cri But that's nothing to the rag we had at the college the other night; We'd gallons and gallons of cider and I got frightfully tight And then we smash'd up ev'rything, and what was the funniest part We smashed some rotten old pictures which were priceless works art We had a rag at Monico's. We had a rag at the Troc., And the one we had at the Berkeley gave the customers quite a shock Then we went to the Popular, and after that, oh my! I wish you'd seen the rag we had in the Grill Room at the Cri There's something about a varsity man that distinguishes him from a Cad; You can tell by his tie and blazer he's a varsity undergrad And you know that he's always ready and up to a bit of a lark With a toy balloon and a whistle and some cider after dark We had a rag at Monico's. We had a rag at the Troc., And the one we had at the Berkeley gave the customers quite a shock Then we went to the Popular, and after that, oh my! I wish you'd seen the rag we had in the Grill Room at the Cri
