Got it;
They Words;
When singing crude songs, we commit social wrongs,
By indulging in bawdy hilarity,
So lets make every ditty, polite, pure and pretty,
By avoiding they words of vulgarity,
We can make all our caving songs stately and gracious,
Instead of coarse, vulgar, obscene and salacious,
And we'll sing ourselves hoarse, while avoiding of course,
They words, they 'orrible words.
When we sing of the ladies, we'll never afront,
The tenderest maiden by being too blunt,
For suitable words we will steadfastly hunt,
And avoid using vulgar expressions like....
CHORUS:
Words, they words, they 'orrible words, they words, they 'orrible words.

For songs such as that really shake us to bits,
We'll never let crudity sully our wits,

That songs that are crude really get on our....
CHORUS:
Words, they words, they 'orrible words, they words, they 'orrible words.
So let us remember our old Sunday School,
And make polite words our inviolate rule,
A man looks a stupid and ignorant fool,
Singing long bawdy ballads the length of his....
CHORUS:
Words, they words, they 'orrible words, they words, they 'orrible words.
And if it should come, as it may do, to pass,
That sing-songs become a ridiculous farce,
Then let every caving lad raise up his glass,
And bring back our old songs like A stands for....
CHORUS:
Words, they words, they 'orrible words, they words, they 'orrible words.
