sup up your beer and collect your fags
there's a row goin on down near slough
get out your mat and pray to the west
i'll get out mine and pray for myself
thought you were all smart when you took them on but you
didn't take a look in their artilary room
all that rugby puts hairs on your chest
what chance have we got against a tie and a crest
Chrous:
hello hurray what a nice day for the
Eton Rifles! Eton Rifles
hello hurray i'd prefer the plague to the
Eton Rifles! Eton Rifles!

After Chorus:
what a catayst you turned out to be
loaded your guns and you ran off home for your tea
and left me standing like a naughty schoolboy
thats about all you need to know, unless you wanna put the guitar noise in at the beging
of my arrangement of the bass part.
i haven't put the piece in running order, figured i'd give you a challenge!
if you can try and play the different versions of the chords which i have indicated in
right place to get the full affect of the song.
