Victoria University of Wellington. Extravaganza 1958. "The Paye Off."
Trentham Gavotte
Trentham Gavotte
Everyone is here who's in "Who's Who"
All the wool is here from Man'watu
Isn't it a just too madly gay
Spectacle, the Trentham Opening Day.
In the stand are all the members
Waiting for a 'tip' to pay its way
Matrons stately move sed-dately
Decorate the Trentham Opening Day.
All the moneyed squatters, alcoholic yachtters
Rubbing shoulders with their jolly pals from boarding college
Wairarapa stock-sales, news for social cocktails Oh, so very dull, which they would never dare acknowledge.
All the snobs tete a tete-ing shouting
Social obligating outing
We're so very distingue
At—at the Trentham Op'ning Day.
