There are books available... my brother used to be a prop for one of
the local teams here in the UK, and I used to hear quite a few of them -
are you SURE you want the lyrics?!
If you do want them, I'll see what I can find. I know he's got the
lyrics to Eskimo Nell, The Good Ship Venus and various other "gems"
somewhere.
I remember one post-match celebration in the clubhouse. My brother had
injured his ankle and so was unable to partipate, but I noticed the
whole team stand round in a semi-circle and start up with "Singing in
the Rain".
"Oh no," I thought, having had experience of these songs, but this one
was the straightforward song. They finished the first verse and all
said "Jackets off" and removed their jackets. Then the song started
again, ending this time with "Ties off".
It wasn't until they said "Trousers off" that it suddenly dawned on me
what they were doing. I was HORRIFIED!!! We aren't talking about the
Chippendales here, we're talking about Abbey RFC's second XV - they're
a repulsive sight with their clothes on, never mind with them off!
When they got down to their underpants, they started up the final
verse. "They're NOT going to..." I thought.
They did! I was SO embarrassed. When they started eating each other's
underpants, I said to my brother "That's it - we're GOING!"
I can stomach most things, but there are limits!

By the way : What are Rugby songs?
Men's songs, traditionally sung in the bar and/or the bath after a Rugby
football match.

At most "after" the game parties there is a tape that I own that
has seen a lot of use...
John Valby is the most known ..... Who's most titles I cannot
write in this file!!

I probably still have a copy of the lyrics from the my days in college.
If you give me your mail-stop, I can probably photocopy them and drop
the copy through internal mail.
(I never played rugby, but I was occasionally at the bar after games)
