Victoria College Students' Carnival. Thursday and Saturday - 25th & 27th June 1908

Chorus

Chorus.

Chorus of Profs.: We have heard your learned speech,
How you earnestly beseech
That we now return to work,
And our tasks no longer shirk.
For your system is so sound,
It completely brought us round;
So that now you may presume
That our lectures we'll resume,
That our lectures we'll resume.
Tarantara (as in Pirates).

Watt-Buncombe : Travel Eastward, travel westward,
Ever have I travelled onward,
Searching lands to North and Southward,
For a perfect social scheme.
Found I here this man of wisdom,
Glad am I I have not missed him,

For Men's Pyjamas at 6s 11d, 7s 11d, 10s 6d, Try James Smith and Sons, The New House.

Smoke "Lucy Hinton" Tobacco.

With his splendid social system,
Fitting ev'ry perfect state.

Students: 'Tis a splendid social system,
Fitting ev'ry perfect state.

Chorus of Profs. : Yes, to us it's evident,
That by Providence was sent
Such an educated man
To present his social plan.
So to work we'll now return,
Teaching students how to learn,
For to us it's evident
That by Providence he's sent.
Tarantara (as in Pirates).

Watt-Buncombe : Go and use your best endeavour,
Go to labour on for ever,
Show them that you're really clever,
Go ye back to lectures now.

Students: Go ye back to lectures now.
Go and use your best endeavour,
Go to labour on for ever,
Show them that you're really clever,
Go ye back to lectures now.

Chorus of Profs. : Oh ! we lived a dismal life,
Full of bickering and strife,
For we really were ill-used,
And we ought to be excused.
For with spirits getting low,
To no Phin Leigh could we go;
So like miners out of luck,
With alacrity we struck.
Yes, like miners out of luck,
With alacrity we struck.
Out of luck,
So we struck.
Out of luck,
Ah ! yes, we struck.

Watt-Buncombe : Go and use your best endeavour,
Go and labour on for ever,
Show them that you're really clever,
Go ye back to lectures now.

Go and use your best endeavour,
Go and labour on for ever,
Show them that you're really clever,
Go ye back to lectures now.

Go Professors, go ye back to lectures now.
Go Professors, go ye back to lectures now,
Go to labour on for ever.
Show them that you're really clever,
Go ye back to lectures now.

Students: Go Professors,
Go to lectures,
Go ye, go ye
To your lectures.

For Men's Hard Felt Hats at 7s 6d, 10s 6d each, Try James Smith and Sons, The New House.

You will find "Lucy" all right.

Go and use your best endeavour,
Go to labour on for ever,
Show them that you're really clever,
Go ye back to lectures now.

Go Professors, go ye back to lectures now.
Go Professors, go ye back to lectures now.
Go to labour on for ever,
Show them that you're really clever,
Go ye back to lectures now.

Chorus of Profs.: We have heard your learned speech, tarantara, tarantara
How you earnestly beseech, tarantara,
That we now return to work, tarantara, tarantara,
And our tasks no longer shirk, tarantara.
For your system is so sound, tarantara, tarantara,
It completely brought us round, tarantara,
So that now you may presume.
That our lectures we'll resume,
That our lectures we'll resume, tarantara.

Profs. : Tarantara, tarantara, &c,
Tarantara, ra, ra, ra, &c.

Profs. : Yes, yes, we go!
Phin Leigh : No longer shirk!
