1.-THE Young Mems Christian association
Has some bright young men.
They plugged and worked and studied
hard,
And won the cup again
When it comes to getting high points,
Seventy-tive is quite a plum,
We beat the nearest eleven pints,
Now isn't that going some?
Chorus:
eve got plenty more as plenty, more
as we could use,
We beat them by such a big margin
they have no excuse.
Twelve months the cup stays with US
now; next year We'll win it sure,
Then we'll have plenty, more as plenty,
more as we can use
