A beautiful skyline which is renown worldwide To an Oxonian brings great joy - and great pride We are known for our history and education But if you think this was above your station?
We weren’t always saint like law abiders We were proud to introduce the first “joy riders” Wasn’t it us who created Oxfam? and a" shark in the roof? Hitler wanted Oxford but we have no proof
The Roebuck The Blenheim and Whites bar too there were loads more - these are just a few We really are a mixed class bunch The Randolph Hotel or Macdonalds for lunch?
It really is the City of haves and have nots Council Estates for trouble 😂 and Summertown for toffs Or we can all get together in one single go They found the perfect place! and called it Jericho!
The gap has closed up over the years We are now not intimidated by our peers Schools and learning much better by far You now can be successful, whoever you are
When we left school there was no mention of Uni If you mentioned it well you were positively ‘loony’ Only those who went were at the top of the tree It wasn’t for the likes of you and me
We’ve come along way since the Cutteslowe Wall A big slab of concrete - over nine feet tall Inconvenience leaving the locals aggrieved It was brought down again - the locals relieved 😅
One of the first to step over - once it was down Was a successful engineer called Gordon Brown Just goes to show if you try - and are clever Barriers are temporary - and never forever
