Thread Name: Lyr Req: rugby song hymn parody
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: rugby song hymn parody
In Alan Bennett's play Forty Years On, the school rugby team bursts in upon the headmaster's leaving speech singing rugby songs to hymn tunes. As far as I can remember (having sung them in the play about thirty years ago!) they were 'The Dogs They Had a Party' to the tune of 'The Church's one Salvation' and 'It Nearly Broke the Family's Heart' to 'Those in Peril on the Sea'

...and another one which slips my mind for the moment. I may be able to supply words if required.
