Lyrics:
It's little we care for the bruises found, Upon the hard and stony ground, For while we're living, we still are bound To follow that bully football.
Chorus-- Oh, we'll kick her over, or rip the cover, God help the poor fellows that fall; They must take their show for a bruise or so, Who follow the bully football.
The kickers are all in their rival rows, With scarlet caps and scarlet hose; The word is given, and off she goes, And up with the bully football.
Chorus
And now, as the opening line deploys, In silence kick, and hold your noise; And whenever a fist can reach her, boys, Then hammer that bully football.
Chorus
And when the last over, the twenty gain, We quickly bury all the slain; And to-morrow the living are ready again, To follow that bully football.
Chorus
