Shelley C Lyr Req: Hersham Boys (not Sham 69) (8) Lyr Req: Hersham Boys (not Sham 69) 08 Jul 03


Does anyone know the lyrics to this old song? My Dad was taught it by his old friend Dennis (from Hersham, Surrey) in 1936. Dennis has recently died, and I'd love to know how the lyrics went. Dad is now 82, and all that he can remember is:

Hersham boys, Hersham boys
Lace up boots and corduroys
Eyes like diamonds, teeth like pearls
Da da da da da
Hersham boys

I've tried various searches, but all I can come up with is the Sham 69 version, (which was no doubt based on the older, gentler version)

Thanks
Shelley C
