Garden party held today

Invites call the debs to play

Social climbers polish ladders

Wayward sons again have fathers

"Hello dad!" "Hello dad!"

Edgy eggs and queuing cumbers

Rudely wakened from their slumbers

Time has come again for slaughter

On the lawns by still "Cam" waters

It's a slaughter it's a slaughter

Champagne corks are firing at the sun again

Swooping swallows chased by violins again

Straafed by Strauss they sulk in crumbling eaves again

Oh God not again!

Aperitifs consumed en masse display

Their owners on the grass

Couples loiter in the cloisters

Social leeches quoting Chaucer

Doctor's son a parson's daughter

Where why not and should they oughta

Please don't lie upon the grass

Unless accompanied by a fellow

May I be so bold as to perhaps suggest Othello

Punting on the Cam is jolly fun they say

Beagling on the downs oh please do come they say

Rugger is the tops a game for men they say

They say good God they say

I'm punting

I'm beagling

I'm wining

Reclining

I'm rucking

I'm fucking

So welcome

It's a party

Angie chalks another blue

Mother smiles she did it too

Chitters chat and gossips lash

Posers pose pressmen flash flash

Smiles polluted with false charm

Locking on to Royal arms

Society columns now ensured

Returns to mingle with the crowds

Oh what a crowd

Oh punting on the cam

Oh please do come they say

Beagling on the downs

Oh please so come they say

Garden party held today they say

Oh please do come

Oh please do come they say
