"There's a song about this that puts it very well. "

It's a Rugby song and appears in 'Forty Years On' by Alan Bennett. I sang it in a production of this great play when in the Sixth Form back in 1976, would you believe?...

The tune is the (not very) well-known hymn, "The Church's One Foundation"

The dogs, they had a party, they came from near and far;
And some dogs came by aeroplane, and some dogs came by car.
They came into the courtroom, they signed the vis'tors' book
And each dog took his arsehole and hung it on a hook.

The dogs they were all seated: each mother, son and sire
When a dirty little mongrel stood up and shouted, "Fire!"
The dogs were in a panic - they had no time to look
And each dog took an arsehole from off the nearest hook.

dum dum dum dum dum dum dum, dum dum de dum dum dum....
dum dum dum dum dum dum...dum dum dum de dum dum dum...
And that, is is the reason dum dum de dum de down
To sniff each other's arsehole in the hope it is his own.


I'm impresed that I can remember that much of it 33 years on but does anyone know the rest of it?
