As part of the Down Downs, a variety of songs will be sung; these are usually a familar tune with some crude alteration to the lyrics! Below are just a few of the common ones, although those indicated accordingly are BH7-specific tunes.
10, 9, 8 (Typically for anyone talking about serious run things, races, events, etc.)
[Unlike most othe hash songs, the hasher should start drinking immediately and there is no ‘Down Down’ part – anything left at the end is supposed to end up on their head!!!]
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Bonking Queen (BH7-specific) (for when BQ commits a sin)
[Sung to the tune of “Dancing Queen”]
Ooh, you can walk
You can run
Having the hash of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that fun
Digging the Bonking Queen
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
Get A Life (Typically for anyone celebrating a hash milestone. But also if they just need to get a life…)
[Sung to the tune of the “William Tell Overture”]
Get a life, Get a life, Get a life life life
Get a life, Get a life, Get a life life life
Get a life, Get a life, Get a life life life
Ge———-t a life, Get a life life life
Drink it down, Drink it down, Drink it down down down…
Hashy Beerday (For anyone celebrating a birthday)
[Sung to the tune of “Happy Birthday”]
Hashy Beerday to you
Hashy Beerday, F* you
Hashy Beerday dear <Hasher Name>
Hashy Beerday, F* you
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
Here’s to the Hare(s) (For the hare(s) of the evening, obvs!)
Here’s to the Hare(s)
They’re true Blue
They are hashers through and through
They are arseholes, so they say
Never get to heaven in a long long way
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
In Brighton Town (For visiting Hashers when in Brighton, or near enough to it)
[Sung to the tune of “In Mobile”]
Oh, the seagulls they fly high in Brighton Town
Oh, the seagulls they fly high in Brighton Town
Oh, the seagulls they fly high,
And they shit right in your eye!
Oh, the seagulls they fly high in Brighton Town
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
Lily The Pink (BH7-specific) (for when LTP commits a sin)
[Sung to tune of the same]
We’ll drink a drink, a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The saviour of the human race
For he invented, medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
Meet The Hashers
[Sung to the tune of “Meet The Flintstones”]
Hashers, meet the hashers,
We’re the biggest drunks in history,
From the town of Brighton,
We’re the leaders in debauchery,
Half-minds, trailing shiggy through the years,
Watch us as we down a lot of beers.
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
Private Dancer (BH7-specific) (for when PD commits a sin)
[Sung to the tune of “Tiny Dancer”]
He’s just a Private Dancer
Dancing for Harveys
He’ll do what we tell him to do
He’s just a Private Dancer
Dancing for Harveys
Not any old tankard will do
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
The Grand Old Duke of York (Sometimes in place of “Here’s to the Hare” when the pack has been led on a rather hilly hash)
Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men,
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up they were up,
And when they were down they were down,
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down.
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
This is Your Down Down Song
This is your Down Down Song
It isn’t very long
* Here’s the second verse
* Shorter than the first
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
* The second verse is optional, keeping it even shorter!
You’re Stupid (For anyone committing really stupid offences)
You’re Stupid,
You’re Stupid,
You’re really bloody dumb.
If it wasn’t for your mother,
You’d be a spot of c*m!
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
We’ve Got Virgins (For hash newbies)
[Sung to tune of “Frere Jacques”]
We’ve got virgins,
We’ve got virgins,
On the hash,
On the hash,
Gonna get a Down Down,
Gonna get a Down Down,
Down Down Down,
Down Down Down.
Why Was She Born So Beautiful?
[Sung to it’s own tune]
Why was she born so beautiful?
Why was she born at all?
She’s no fucking use to anyone,
She’s no fucking use at all.
She’s may be a joy to her mother,
But she’s a pain in the asshole to me!
Drink it Down Down Down Down…
