Final Finale

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.

Our receipe for alchohol went with a bang
David Brown won renown
For Kuri Puku Bay.
Quag and Wal are up the pole
Our schools are teaching rock and roll
"Oh Promise Me" is what old Walter sang.

This is the end but one thing we'd underline
From the Varsity standing up on the hill.
It's been fun to come into town with our hair let down
With Extravaganza '59
Extravaganza '59.
