Thread Name: Lyr Req: School in Cheltenham (from Tsai Chin)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I (We) went to school in Cheltenham
I can remember it all, apart from the words and the tune! Definitely not a rugger song; it was recorded by a young lady with a fraightfuly cut-glass accent and a deadpan delivery, and safe enough for the BBC to broadcast. I've been hanging around for the words, so you'll have to dig out the gramophone Pauline.

Have you got a cassette recorder? (Or even a reel-to-reel job?) It's easier for transcribing words than a record player, as you can stop/start/rewind so easily and without worrying about your delicate stylus and playing surface. And if you get a partner, one of you can write down the odd-numbered lines, and the other the even-numbered lines: this gives you twice as much time to write.
