The Spike or Victoria College Review Capping programme 1919

Bolsheviki

Bolsheviki.

"Poins, Poins, these be noisome fellows."

Shakspeare.

We are the Bolsheviks!
We are the Bolsheviks!
We're out to raise the devil everywhere—
(Shaking fists)—
"Frustrate the knavish tricks,
Confound the politics"
Of old John Bull, Bill Massey and Joe Ward—tear their hair!
(Joyously)
So on a lamp we'll string
You up and let you swing
And as you gently dangle in the breeze
You'll wish—you might wish wuss—
You had been born a Russ.
But now go down—down, you lubbers, on your knees (threatening), on your knees!
Thumbs up for the Bolsheviks!
