Snapping
Matilda
Once
a jolly Clubman went upon a picture hunt
Took
all his cameras - one, two, three
And
he sat and he sat and waited for the rain to stop
Under
the shade of a sycamore tree.
Chorus
Snapping
Matilda, snapping Matilda
You’ll
come a-snapping Matilda with me
And
he sang as he sat and focused up his Hasselblad
“You’ll
come a-snapping Matilda with me.”
Out
came his Weston for to take a reading with
Hardly
a flicker could he see.
Out
came Matilda, sat upon her garden gate
“You’ll
never take me alive,” said she
Chorus:
Snapping
Matilda, snapping Matilda
Up
jumped the Clubman reaching for his Hasselblad.
“Yes
I can take you alive,” said he.
“Where’s
that jolly Tri-X I’ve got in my gadget bag?
“Who’ll
come a-snapping Matilda with me?
Chorus:
Snapping
Matilda, snapping Matilda
Just
at that moment, on came the rain again,
Washed
our enthusiast out to sea.
But
his ghost may be heard at outings of the EPS
Blaming
the weather on Bob S…...e.
Chorus:
Snapping
Matilda, snapping Matilda
