[Verse 1]
D Garden party held today A Invites call the debs to play Am Social climbers polish ladders G Wayward sons again have D fathers A Hello, Dad, Am hello, Dad
G
D Edgy eggs and queuing cumbers A Rudely wakened from their slumbers Am Time has come again for slaughter G On the lawns by still Cam D waters A A slaughter, Am it's a slaughter
G
[Chorus]
A G Champagne corks are firing at the sun D G again A G Swooping swallows chased by violins D G again A G Strafed by Strauss they sulk in crumbling D G eaves again A G Oh God D G Oh God, not again
[Verse]
D A Am G
D Aperitifs consumed en masse A Display their owners on the grass Am Couples loiter in the cloisters G Social leeches quoting D A Am G Chaucer D Doctor's son, a parson's daughter A Where, why not, and should they oughta Am Please don't lie upon the grass G Unless accompanied by a D A Am G fellow (May I be so bold as to perhaps suggest Othello?)
[Chorus]
A G Punting on the Cam is jolly fun D G they say A G Beagling on the downs, oh please do come D G they say A G Rugger is the tops, a game for men D G they say A G They say D G Good God, they say
