 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.
