Victoria College Students' Carnival. Thursday and Friday, 27th and 28th June, 1907

Chorus

Chorus.

Air—"No possible doubt whatever "from" The Gondoliers" — (Sullivan.)

In by-gone days the family shrine
Was cleansed with soap and water
By a slightly susceptible heroine,
A vestal in cap and an apron fine,
Who'd answer the bell, but not outshine
Both the master's spouse and daughter.

Chorus.
That cap, the badge of servitude,
Has vanished now for ever.
Of that there can be no shadow of doubt,
Consortable, daughtable shadow of doubt,
No sort of doubt whatever.

Now when they come they dictate their terms
And always ride a winner,
While a highly suspectable mistress squirms,
But each union rule there and then confirms,
And hopelessly prays that the hostile germs
Won't attack her prize at dinner.

Chorus
So now we'll shout "Home Rule" about,
And bow to the cap for ever.
Of that there can be no shadow of doubt,
No helpable, palpable shadow of doubt,
No helpable doubt whatever.

Few Men can afford to be badly dressed.
