The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Tune: Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> England.<br />
The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Have blue lights at the gate.<br />
The public's always welcome,<br />
You never have to wait.<br />
As long as your money is in your hand,<br />
You'll find that an evening can soon be<br />
planned<br />
With a tasty little dish.<br />
You can choose between brunette, redhead<br />
or blonde,<br />
Any sort you wish.<br />
The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Have every kind on hand.<br />
From passionate to frigid,<br />
The best in all the land.<br />
As long as the Medical Faculty boasts<br />
A dozen virile men,<br />
We'll fight for the Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton.<br />
The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Supply the students' needs.<br />
And if you pay us promptly,<br />
We'll give you back your tweeds.<br />
For only a little extra,<br />
You can see what the other patrons do<br />
Through a peep-hole in the wall.<br />
You would be surprised at who you'll see<br />
in there;<br />
Lecturers and all!<br />
The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Have lots <strong>of</strong> girls on tap,<br />
And if you stick to us, sir,<br />
You'll never get the clap.<br />
The spirochaete just isn't see here,<br />
Which is one more reason why<br />
We'll fight for the Stately Homes <strong>of</strong><br />
Carlton.<br />
The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Are in the public eye,<br />
As long as there are men, sir,<br />
The sport will never die.<br />
Though ministers may denounce us,<br />
And policemen may pursue us,<br />
We shall be sure to have our way.<br />
While our girls remain as lovely as they are,<br />
The customers will pay.<br />
The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Are vital to the land,<br />
For if they were not with us<br />
Just think <strong>of</strong> the demand.<br />
With knot holes and post-holes and keyholes<br />
We should occupy our time,<br />
So we're proud <strong>of</strong> the Stately Homes <strong>of</strong><br />
Carlton.<br />
The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Are never at a loss;<br />
For if our girls don't please you,<br />
We'll let you have the boss.<br />
Although it's not customary,<br />
We could probably fix you up<br />
If you would prefer to have a male.<br />
Or if you require a little boy, or dog,<br />
We shall never fail.<br />
The Stately Homes <strong>of</strong> Carlton<br />
Have always been discreet,<br />
You'll find us close and handy<br />
Up every little street.<br />
Except for a murder once in a while,<br />
Your safety is assured,<br />
So we'll fight for the Stately Homes <strong>of</strong><br />
Carlton.<br />

All This And A Degree Too<br />
Tune: "Whoopee"<br />
Another year<br />
You're in the ward,<br />
The teaching's started<br />
Don't look so bored;<br />
You're in the clinics<br />
Amongst the cynics,<br />
Some call you Doctor.<br />
You palpate hearts<br />
And auscultate,<br />
You heard the murmurs?<br />
By George you're great;<br />
But then a voice said<br />
That patient's long dead,<br />
Send for a doctor.<br />
The setting's bright and airy<br />
Between the long white walls,<br />
Be careful that the fairies<br />
Don't souvenir your .. .<br />
Seeing patients<br />
Alive and dead,<br />
They're stuffing seaweed<br />
Into your head;<br />
But just remember<br />
When you're an ember,<br />
They called you Doctor.
