UP LADS!
Up with you. lad?! Why work so half-heartedly ? Work worth the doing must need all your grit; See to it, boys, there's no slacking or laziness. Stiffen your muscles and strive to be fit. Good honest labour should bring out your manliness. Body and brain must be active and bright; No one succeeds like the fellow who sticks to it; Work away hard with your goal well in sight. Up, lads, your country is calling for men! Go forward, unswerving to-day. Up, lads! be true to yourselves and your land ! Be keen on the game that you play. Up with you. lads! Why play so halfheartedly ? Games worth the playing must need all your zest; See to it, boys, you're not duffers or lazy-bones, Win, if you can, but at least do your best! * Long we have claimed in our pride and our eagerness. First as a nation of sportsmen to stand; Don’t care a rap for your own special skilful ness; Play for the honour and name of the land. Up, lads, your country is calling for men! Go forward, unswerving to-day; Up, lads, be true to yourselves and your land! Be keen on the game that you play.
