Sup up your beer and collect your fags - There's a row going on down near Slough Get out your mat and pray to the West I'll get out mine and pray for myself. Thought you were smart when you took them on, But you didn't take a peep in their artillery room All that rugby puts hairs on your chest What chance have you got against a tie and a crest? Hello-Hurray - what a nice day for the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles Hello-Hurray - I hope rain stops play for the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles. Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse, Tore down.
