Jolly UNB (1926)

Lyrics:

(Tune--Marching Through Georgia)

Sing a song of U. N. B. and sing it with a roar, Sing it as they sang it back a hundred years or more, Spread your teeth, and sing it as you never sang before, While we go rolling through the varsity.

Chorus-- Hurrah, hurrah, for jolly U. N. B., Hurrah, Hurrah, for good old varsity, She's always been a hustler, and she'll hustle you and me, While we go rolling through the varsity.

We've Davy, and we've Tubby, and we've all the rest between, All their crazy notions in the Calendar are seen, We'll join our hands together, and we'll push the old machine, While we go rolling through the varsity.

Chorus-- Hurrah, hurrah, the button has been pressed, Hurrah, hurrah, U. N. B. will do the rest, She's modest, she's retiring but she'll do her level best, While we go rolling through the varsity.

We're often into trouble, we've been run in once or twice, Davy says be careful, or you'll put the place on ice, The Senate think we're naughty, but our Mammas think we're nice, As we go rolling through the varsity.

Chorus-- Hurrah, hurrah, for jolly U. N. B., Hurrah, hurrah, with the cops we can't agree, And every man should treat his friend about as he would be While we go rolling through the varsity.
