The Varsity Students’ Rag

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!

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!

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!
