HILTON THE SCHOOL ON THE HILL

 

IT STANDS BY THE ROAD ON THE LOW HILL SIDE

NEAR THE SHORE OF THE GREAT NORTH SEA

AND ROUND IT THE FIELDS STRETCH FAR AND WIDE

THE SCHOOL THAT IS DEAR TO ME

THOUGH SMALL IT MAY BE AND UNKNOWN TO FAME

ITS MEMORY YET BRINGS A THRILL

TIS THE SCHOOL THAT TAUGHT US TO PLAY THE GAME

HILTON THE SCHOOL ON THE HILL

 

CHORUS

 

THE OLD SCHOOL THE DEAR SCHOOL

THE SCHOOL THAT’S DEAR TO ME

WHERE WE WORKED AND WE PLAYED WITH A WILL

LET US EVER REMEMBER WHERE E’RE WE MAY BE

HILTON THE SCHOOL ON THE HILL

 

 

THE LESSONS WE LEARNED IN THAT WELL LOVED PLACE

TO BE TRUSTY PURE AND TRUE

TO DO OUR BEST THOUGH NOT FIRST IN THE RACE

WILL SERVE US OUT WHOLE LIFE THROUGH

AND WHEN FROM ITS SHELTERING WALLS

WE TURN INTO LIFES BROADER FIELDS THERE STILL

ITS TEACHING SHOULD CAUSE US WITH ZEAL TO BURN

HILTON THE SCHOOL ON THE HILL
