Not the King,

Goooo us!

Who do we appreciate? 
North, south, east and west, 
S.P.C. is best.

5, 6, 7, 8,
Who do we appreciate?
All Saints?
Not quite,
We support the purple and white.

Who do we appreciate?
Not the King, 
Not the Queen,
But the Elgin hockey team,
Elgin, Elgin, go Elgin.

2,4,6,8, who don't we appreciate?
Teachers are the sitting ducks,
All the teachers really suck.
