The Paston School Song

1. Anno Domini

sixteen-six

As the tale was told to me,

Is a solemn date for us to fix

Deep in our memory;

Sir William Paston, he up and said,

‘The Norfolk lads, I’m sore afraid,

Have overmuch liberty.

Come hither, Reverend Michael Tylles,

And into their heads we’ll hammer

Godly learning to guide their wills,

Arithmetic, writing and grammar.

This was the Paston School;

This the Paston School;

And we shall see that this shall be

Forever the Paston School.[/quote]

Personally, I liked the verse about Nelson best and the dubious phrasing of the word TRA-FAL-GAR. Anyway, Ken Marshall was deffo Lieut Col Marshall but what about Captain Cooper and renowned WWII RAF hero ''Doker'' Havercroft - chocs away!!!!

Verse 4 M''Lud.4. ’Twere long to tell of all who came,

Of Wodehouse§, Wharton, Hoste,

Their names are on the Roll of Fame,

And never shall be lost;

But stand and shout as the last we bring,

Horatio Nelson, of him we sing,

For he is our proudest boast.

His eye was clear, his head was cool,

His glory is our star,

For what he learned at the Paston School

He taught at Trafalgar.

Such was… Such is…

That''s odd Tilly - our verse 4 was Tennison, Wharton and Hoste - but you did probably start there about a century before me!

I never thought it would happen with me and a girl from Clapham

Out on a windy common, that night I ain''t forgotten

[quote user="Rock The Boat"]So which cadet force were you in, Tilly I don''t think there was a police force.

I was in the navy larking about on Barton Broad.[/quote]Air cadets RTB.
