The Blue-Coat Boys
If you should pass through Newgate Street,
Bareheaded boys with coats of blue,
Among the crowd you're sure to meet—
And all with yellow stockings too.
Their coats are long as well as blue,
And when at football they do play,
They find them rather heavy too,
So tuck them up out of the way.
In Christchurch passage will be found
The entrance to the School; and though
It looks so quiet, all around
We hear the crowd go to and fro.
Above the doorway there you see
The Boy King's statue:—Would you know
Who founded this great school? 'Twas he
More than three hundred years ago.
