(1) When I first came to Cambridge
I was only eighteen
With a fiver in my pocket
And me old dangly bag
So I went down to the Panton
To check out the scew
But I soon ended up as
a beardy old lag
(2)When the Mornflake & the Tunnock Bars
Were stacked in great piles
With the old expo trailer
We would drag them for miles
[inspiration appears to have run out at this point - maybe the song will be completed on a future expo ? Ed.]
