Jolly boating weather

And a hay harvest breeze

Blade on the feather

Shade off the trees

Swing swing together

With your bodies between your knees

Swing swing together

With your bodies between your knees

Skirting past the rushes

Ruffling over the weeds

Where the lock stream gushes

Where the cygnet feeds

Let us see how the wine glass flushes

At supper on boveney meads

Let us see how the wine glass flushes

At supper on Boveney meads

Rugby may be more clever

Harrow may make more row

But we'll row for ever

Steady from stroke to bow

And nothing in life shall sever

The chain that is round us now

And nothing in life shall sever

The chain that is round us now

Others will fill our places

Dressed in the old light blue

We'll recollect our races

We'll to the flag be true

And youth will be still in our faces

When we cheer for an eton crew

And youth will be still in our faces

When we cheer for an eton crew

Twenty years hence this weather

May tempt us from office stools

We may be slow on the feather

And seem to the boys old fools

But we'll still swing together

And swear by the best of schools

But we'll still swing together

And swear by the best of schools

Best of schools
