I see them here I see them there
In fact I see them everywhere
Lads are loafing
Girls are glowing
Mostly with their midriff showing
Up the High Street
On the grass
Laughing, joking
Out of class
Like champagne corks
Wild and free
Full of fizz and energy
A brilliant infectious vibrancy
Frolicking mindlessly in the sun
The chatter flows from one to one
In this moment they’re having fun
Forgetting what’s next to come
They descend our shops and street
Polite but lively with all they meet
Exams forgotten on this day
They’re demob happy, hooray!
