Tiddlywinks songbook
CUTwC has been known to raise its singing voice. Often this happens at the end of a pub crawl, with results that we don't necessarily want to repeat here. However, there are some official songs about tiddlywinks.
The CUTwC Anthem
by Nick Inglis, et al
Sung to the tune of Tannenbaum
The 'winks club's mats are soaked in port,
And so are all who play the sport.
Tomato juice and such-like drinks,
Aren't good enough for tiddlywinks.
And when our team's just won the cup,
It takes us weeks to sober up.
As long as they serve real ale here,
We'll keep the winks club drinking beer.
There has been a tradition of the Secretary writing new verses to this anthem on return from a 'Varsity Match. Some of the results aren't entirely for public consumption, and generally speaking people mix up the lines between verses anyway; however, visitors to the club may be warned that many more verses exist.
The Tiddlywinks Anthem
by Rev. E. A. Willis
Sung to the tune of Men of Harlech
Other nations are before us
With their Sputniks and Explorers
What can confidence restore us?
Naught but tiddlywinks.
On the fields of Eton,
Former foes were beaten.
But today all patriots play
This sport which needs such grit and concentration.
Through this game of skill and power
England knows her finest hour,
And her stronghold, shield and tower
Must be tiddlywinks.
