UP AT LORDS

Norman Gale

When Stoddart makes her hum, Up at Lords, Till the bowler bites his thumb, Up at Lords,

How the Middlesex supporters Turn vociferous exhorters As he jumps on Lockwood's Snorters, Up at Lords!

When Stoddart makes her hum Up at Lords, And my country cousins come Up at Lords

With their looks as sweet as honey, And their exclamations funny, I am prodigal of money Up at Lords!

When Stoddart makes her hum Up at Lords, And the Surrey Skipper's glum Up at Lords,

Oh! all my odds are even, And ( I hope to be forgiven ) ‘ Tis a truly Cricket Heaven Up at Lords!
