Jam - The Eton Rifles lyrics

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