Garden party held today
Invites call the debs to play
Social climbers polish ladders
Wayward sons again have fathers
Hello, Dad, hello, dad 
Edgy eggs and queuing cumbers
Rudely wakened from their slumbers 
Time has come again for slaughter 
O on the lawns by still Cam waters
A slaughter, it's a slaughter 

Interlude

E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
Champagne corks are firing at the sun again 
Swooping swallows chased by violins again 
Straafed by Strauss they sulk in crumbling eaves again
Oh God not again 

Verse 2 (as before)
=======
Aperitifs consumed en masse 
Display their owners on the grass 
Couples loiter in the cloisters
social leeches quoting Chaucer 
Doctor's son a parson's daughter 
W where why not and should they oughta 
Please don't lie upon the grass
Unless accompanied by a fellow
May I be so bold as to perhaps suggest Othello

Interlude (as before)
=========
Punting on the Cam is jolly fun they say
Beagling on the downs, oh please do come they say 
Rugger is the tops, a game for men they say

Verse (no guitar)
=====
Angie chalks another blue
Mother smiles she did it too 
Chitters chat and gossips lash
Posers pose, pressmen flash
Smiles polluted with false charm, locking on to Royal arms
Society columns now ensured, returns to mingle with the crowds
Oh what a crowd

Punting on the Cam, oh please do come they say 
Beagling on the downs, oh please so come they say

Oh please do come, oh please do come, they say.
