...

there was harry

...there was Mary...

there was Grace

Oh, they had a little party down in Newport

And they had to carry Harry from the place

California, California

Oh, they had to carry Harry to the ferry

And the ferry carried Harry to the shore ...

is that harry could not carry anymore...

(pjlbear its gameday get it together)

Doesn't anybody know this song?

Oh, they had a little party down in Newport
There was Harry, there was Mary, there was Grace
Oh, they had a little party down in Newport
And they had to carry Harry from the place.
Oh, they had to carry Harry to the ferry,
and the ferry carried Harry to the shore
and the reason that they had to carry Harry to the ferry,
'cause Harry couldn't carry any more.

It's a new season, for crying out loud, get it right.

For California, For California ....

The hills send back the cry...

we're out to do or die...

We're out to do or die ...

For California, California
We'll win the game or
know the reason why

Are all you bitches drunk already?

And when the game is over,

I remember the line as:

And the reason that they had to carry Harry to the ferry
was 'cause Harry couldn't carry and more [BEER!].

Drunk the night before....

Just so we're clear on the song...

(speaking start)

The steward went below. (Shhh!)
To light the captain's lamp. (Shhh!)
The lamp it would not light. (Why not?)
Because the wick was damp. (Oh!)
The captain went below. (Shhh!)
To kick the steward's (Shhh!)
He said, "So fire it up you son-of-a-bitch,
The Golden Gate is passed!"

(singing start)

Oh, they had a little party down in Newport;
There was Harry, there was Mary, there was Grace.
Oh, they had a little party down in Newport,
And they had to carry Harry from the place.
Oh, they had to carry Harry to the ferry,
And the ferry carried Harry to the shore;
And the reason that they had to carry Harry to the ferry
Was that Harry couldn't carry any more.
For California, for California,
The hills send back the cry,
We're out to do or die,
For California, for California,
We'll win the game or know the reason why.
And when the game is over, we will buy a keg of booze,
And drink to California 'till we wobble in our shoes.
So drink, tra la la,
Drink, tra la la,
Drink, drank, drunk last night,
Drunk the night before;
Gonna get drunk tonight
Like I never got drunk before;
For when I'm drunk, I'm as happy as can be
For I am member of the Souse family.
Now the Souse family is the best family
That ever came over from old Germany.
There's the Highland Dutch, and the Lowland Dutch,
The Rotterdam Dutch, and the Irish.
Sing glorious, victorious,
One keg of beer for the four of us.
Sing glory be to God that there are no more of us,
For one of us could drink it all alone. Damn near.
Here's to the Irish, dead drunk. The lucky stiffs.

We always sang the song with either of the two alternate beginnings. On drinking nights, we started with the "Shhh" bit and jumped to the "For California" part. For more sedate Constance Frye moments, we used the more polite intro, but never both at the same time. Personally, I never liked the Newport reference, as in my mind I always thought of Newport as being in SoCal or RI, and neither was right for a Cal song.

They had four-ffiths

Of home-made brew...
