Tank 

Lyrics by Mr. S C "Sammy" Cowell, Headmaster 

written for the Muddlers Concert of October 1947 and sung to the tune of a popular rhumba of the time. 

"You know that we have a swimming pool 

And it's filled with water blue and cool 

All the boys just love to go in "tank"

But the girls stand on the bank. 

Chorus 

So their bathing suits never get wet 

They pose on the sides looking pretty 

And say it would be a great pity

 If our bathing suits ever got wet!" 

When the time for swimming heats comes round 

For each race some entries must be found 

But the question is can this be done?

 If the colours are going to run 

Chorus 

For their bathing suits mustn't get wet....etc. 

There are three more verses all in a similar 'ragging' vein, but I have forgotten them. 

D.V. Boddington.
