Our teams went away to play Cricket basket volley and football The less talented misrable me Stuck in study hall doing homework not me Sneaking a comic day-dreaming a lot Who won? We won! Just as I thought Swinging sliding tearing half pants Merry go round dizzy fall off Umbies gumboots what a miserable day TT or marbles indoors we stay Dorms A, B, C, D, E smell like dirty socks Cards caaroom chess or tall tales we'd tell May Day Sale Day eat till you drop Headache stomachache Sister please help Two asprin two sulfadizine get out you snot Friday and Saturday movie night Nightgowns pajamas juniors got Seniors in fancies privilaged lot Swimming Gala Sports Day What fun we had Cups medals and plaques to the best they gave Special dinner for all we couldn't wait With colors the best they decorated Old Budhiman, man he made it all happen Our Bearers we loved or hated Tiger Lamboo Kancha Chipu were their names Marmalade bread tea rice curry dal we want more Four girls four guys mind your manners please pass Line in, silence, grace, benches n chairs a draggin East fast or else the bell will end the din Smokin and snarling the blue dragon chugs by Here come the day scholars come rain or shine Cutlet Macha for lunch what a fishy tale Chapel every morning announcements and more Who is the guy Anon? Hymns he's written galore Saturday chapel was an embarrassment If two or more house marks you get Repeat offenders everyone knew Talu or Bhuntey two stirpes you're through Bunking was alright if you are not caught Khudside oops you're not as smart as you thought Don't come with an attitude Everyone's the same Fat rich skinny or tall We'll teach you the game Nickname's we'll give you like it or not With friendship and time you'll like it a lot India Nepal Bhutan we didn't care Thailand or NewZeeland we came from everywhere Assam party Callcutta party by train or plane Though we are parted by memories we're still united You may pretend but I know tis true Though you said you musn't look back you do Uniforms in an ideal setting Funny how Harry Potter movies remind me Though I cannot go back How my life had been Going home day songs we sang with gusto Darjeeling and Kanchendzonga I miss also December January I'm toiling again February I pause to know who I am March your children still seek your ray Hail!
