Chorus. Up and down the river—all the summer long, Skim the river reaches—sing the river song. 49 ETON SONGS n'OURTH of June—the old King’s Birthday—keep it ever, heart and soul, Gay procession—flags and flowers—row to Surly—flowing bowl— Bands contending—bells resounding—blue and red and yellow flames Mock the moon, illuminating all thy ripples, silver Thames.

Up and down the river—all the summer long, Skim the river reaches—sing the river song. 50 ETON SONGS P) ROC AS CLUMP and Hester’s Shed, boys! hark the signal—-off ^ they go— Sandbank—Upper Hope and Athens—Rushes—Rypeck—on they row— On they row, while voices, shouting for “ My Tutor’s” or “ My Dame’s,” Cheer the contest, wake the echoes on the banks of silver Thames.

You may talk of your tennis, your rackets, and fives, The skill they demand, and the pleasure they bring ; Yet you’re bound to admit in the course of your lives, They all have their merits, but Cricket is King.

Chorus. You may talk of your tennis, your rackets, and fives, The skill they demand, and the pleasure they bring ; Yet you’re bound to admit in the course of your lives, They all have their merits, but Cricket is King. And here is a moral with which you won’t quarrel, When in far other fields you seek far other strife, Just open your shoulders and charm the beholders, But keep a straight bat to the troubles of life.

Chorus. Upon St. Andrew’s day, Upon St. Andrew’s day, There’s something; worth recording" yet Upon St. Andrew’s day. With rival fears and rival hopes W e come to see the sight, And press against the stakes and ropes, And mark the sawdust white, Till, coats cast oft and sleeves uprolled, They come in colours gay, Our two-and-twenty champions bold, Upon St. Andrew’s day. Chorus. Upon St. Andrew’s day, Upon St. Andrew’s day, There’s something worth recording yet Upon St. Andrew’s day. 87 ETON SONGS T HE half-hour strikes—the fight begins— The shouts rise stern and high, And sometimes this or that side wins, And sometimes it’s a tie ; And worth whole weeks of summer sun Is that one hour of play, From half-past twelve to half-past one Upon St. Andrew’s day. Chorus —Upon St. Andrew’s day, etc. 88 ETON SONGS Q EE where the match he 1 stands to watch, ^ Who many a match has seen, Cheerful and fat, with high-crowned hat, And suit of velveteen ; He blew the ball, he knows them all, The Homer of the fray, He sings the heroes of “ the wall ” Upon St. Andrew’s day.
