Final Finale

This is the end of our student revelry
So we're going to go back once more to our books
Everyone of us has a mind of an academic kind
So please don't judge us by our looks.

This is the end of our annual devilry
There is nothing else left for us but to go
We've repeated a thousand times
All the author's rhymes
Andante and fortissimo.

There were politicians
All the country's leading lights
Thundering, blundering, all along the way.
Parl'mentary Nationalists and Labourites
Dirty skites
Having their big fat say.

There were juvenile delinquents
With their chains and knives
Ready boys, Teddy boys
Wand'ring on the loose
Jokes of very doubtful age
And ballet boys who rocked the stage
In dress of the nineteen twenty-fives.

This is the end but one thing we'd like to state
It's been fun to come into town with out hair let down
From the Varsity standing up on the hill,
With Extravaganza '58
Extravaganza '58.
