DOWN-DOWN SONG (Melody – Itself) Here's to Hashers, They are blue They are Hasher, Through and through, They are a pisspots, So they say, But they’ll never get to heaven in a long, long way So drink it down, down, down

** If the drinking up lasts too long according to the assembled pack this is immediately followed on by………….

WHY ARE WE WAITING? (Melody - Come Let Us Adore Him) Why are we waiting, We are de-hydrating, Oh, why are we waiting, So sodding long, etc . . .

RETURNER'S SONG (Melody - It's a Small World After All) They've returned to us, some from far away, Some fucking excuse, each of them did say, As we listen to it, We know they're full of shit, They are assholes, after all. They are assholes, after all, They are assholes, after all, They are assholes, after all, Fuck you all, assholes. Drink it down, down, down

NO BLOW SONG (Melody - Looney Tunes Theme) Used for honoring “Hash Horns” who have forgotten theirs You seem somewhat forgetful, Remind you? Maybe this'll, Next time you come, don't be so dumb, Just bring your fucking whistle!

CHAPTER 2:

INTERNATIONAL HASH HYMN (Melody - Swing Low, Sweet Chariot) Note: gestures accompany words I looked over Jordan and what did I see, Coming for to carry me home, A band of angels coming after me, Coming for to carry me home. CHORUS: Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home, Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home. I'm sometimes up and sometimes down, Comin' for to carry me home, But still my soul feels heavenly bound. Comin' for to carry me home. If you get there before I do, Coming for to carry me home, Tell all my friends that I'm coming too, Coming for to carry me home. (repeat with variations: humming and motions only, silence and motions only, double-time)

Toulouse Hash Song (proposed) (Melody - The Irish Rover) I flew into Blagnac, an expat so neat, Some boozy old hashers I happened to meet, I asked to go hashing, they answered me "Nay, For wimps such as you we can find any day." CHORUS: And it's no nay never, no nay no never no more, Shall I play the wild hasher, no never no more. I took out my checkbook all shiny and bright, The hash cash's eyes they lit up with delight, He said, "Gladly we'll welcome you as one of the rank, As soon as your check has been cleared by the bank." CHORUS: They sold me a T-shirt at exhorbitant price, Then we went hashing, 'twas ever so nice, At the last checkpoint we lost three without trace, And back at the On In we all got shit faced. CHORUS: I've hashed the world over in places far and near, I sang with the locals and drank all the beer, And now I'm returning with tales for to tell, Of checkbacks unending and shortcuts through hell. CHORUS: Now all I have left is a beer-stained T-shirt, And my Nikes are covered in shiggy and dirt, My wife she has left me because of the pong, And this is the end of my terrible song.

YOU ARE OUR ... (Melody - You Are My Sunshine) You are our (Hash name), our only (Hash name), You make us happy when skies are bleak. You'll never know(Hash name), how much we like you, Please keep coming to Hash ev'ry week. Drink it down, down, down . . .
