UP AT LORDS

By Norman Gale

When Stoddart makes her hum,

Up at Lords,

Till the bowler bites his thumb,

Up at Lords,

How the Middlesex supporters

Turn vociferous exhorters

As he jumps on Lockwood's Snorters,

Up at Lords!

When Stoddart makes her hum

Up at Lords,

And my country cousins come

Up at Lords

With their looks as sweet as honey,

And their exclamations funny,

I am prodigal of money

Up at Lords!

When Stoddart makes her hum

Up at Lords,

And the Surrey Skipper's glum

Up at Lords,

Oh! all my odds are even,

And ( I hope to be forgiven )

‘ Tis a truly Cricket Heaven

Up at Lords!
