Green, Gold and Blue
Then join in the song of the Green, Gold and Blue Shout aloud to your colours that you ever will be true While e'er the sky's blue awning O'erspreads Green fields and trees, As they bathe in the garden sunshine And dance in the resulting breeze.
W'll be loyal loving, grateful, and we'll fight the life's battle through. Firm and straight, and for the honour of the Green, the Gold and the Blue
O the Green it is kind and gentle, Spread profusely through our isle: The Green trees nod o'er the mantle Green, of the rippling fields that smile And the Green, it ever minds us To be kind and gentle too For the honour of our colours, The Green, the Gold and the Blue.
And the Gold, it is bright and cheery Pouring down from the fiery sun, Giving life and joy and beauty, Shedding light on ev'ry one. And the Gold is there to remind us To be bright and cheery too, For the honour of our colours, The Green, the Gold and the Blue.
