Semi-Final Chorus.

(Air: Specially composed by Mr. W. H. Stainton.)

Pour the potent potion! Pour!
Drink as we've been drunk before!
Life extorts its daily quarts;
Great occasions call for more.

Chorus
Strum the strident ukelele,
Stimulate the steel guitar!
Waving palms invite us gaily,
Calling, calling—to the Bar.

Pass the festive pint around!
Let Bacchantic cries resound!
Care and fear in watery bier
Plunge until they're truly drowned!

Chorus
Strum the strident ukelele,
Stimulate the steel guitar!
Waving palms invite us gaily,
Calling, calling—to the Bar.
