Aha - I found that Yale song. But it goes like this : "Oh! More work for the undertaker, 'Nother little job for the casket maker In the local cemetary they are Very very busy with a brand new grave: No hope for Harvard, No hope for Harvard!" The first couple of lines fit nicely into the tune I know, but sadly the rest won't go at all...

The Yale glee Club sings a medley of football songs that includes most of those words...and a web search shows a "More work for the Undertaker" recorded by a Dan W. Quinn on Edison Cylinder 1901. Couldn't find any more information

Hi! Still searching for "songs that Grandad used to sing", to surprise him with a printed songbook for his birthday... Does anyone else remember a song with the chorus : "More work for the undertaker, 'nother little job for the gravestone-maker, ...... maybe a line forgotten? ...... On his tombstone you will see- Sambo(?) V.C" I'm sure there was something in there about "a bar of Marley soap", too... whatever that is!
