Victoria College Students' Carnival. Thursday and Friday, June 24th and 25th, 1909

Parting Chorus

Parting Chorus.

Ah Comrades we are parting,
For home we must go,
Our eyes with tears are smarting,
And yours we trust also
The Iceberg that has thawed its
Coldness beside our tent
The penguin asks your plaudits
And pleads our good intent.

Chorus.
—bye—bye. Good—Good bye
We're awfully sad at parting
We only say good-bye.

For Gloves, Sox or Ties go to Wallace and Gibson's The "Kash," Willis Street.

What use is there to blubber
Although we have to go
For any man can club a seal and
Get enough you know.
So tears and futile sorrow
We leave to other men,
We're sure to meet to-morrow,
And so farewell till then.

Chorus.
well—well fare-fare-well.
We're awfully sad at parting,
We only say farewell.

E'er Zak has got our photos
That all the world may gaze,
E'er Shackleton can quote us,
Or David sing our praise,
E'er Krook again doth Dally
From haunts of dusty broom,
Kind sirs give us a rally
To soothe the parting gloom.

Chorus.
dieu—dieu—a—a-dieu,
We're awfully sad at parting,
We only say adieu.
