Sing Out Loud, Sing Out Strong
A good hash involves activity (vigorous or otherwise), the golden nectar, conviviality, and friends. A great hash includes all of those things PLUS SINGING!!!
Maybe you haven’t sung since you were in middle school choir and you think, Oh lawd! I can’t hold a note. Trust us, that’s not a problem.
Music City’s signature tune is listed below, along with some links to other canonical songbooks (and tunes we love).

BALL GAME
Whip it out at the ball game
Wave it round at the crowd
Dip it peanuts and crackerjack
I don’t care if you give it a whack ’cause it’s
Beat your meat at the ball game
If you don’t cum it’s a shame
It’s one, two,
You’re covered in goo
At the old ball game!
BLESSING OF THE HARES
Optional prayer offered by the RA before the hash, with local embellishments. This version is from Tampa H3.
Bless these hares!
Bless this trail,
Coppus no catch us,
Farmer no shoot us,
Doggus no bite us,
Heatus no stroke us,
Plenty of cold beer to drink,
Coitus non interruptus.
FATHER ABRAHAM
Usually done as a warm-up song prior to departing for the hash
(Melody – Itself)
Leader: Father Abraham had seven sons,
And seven sons had Father Abraham,
And he never smiled,
And he never cried,
All he did was go like this – With a right!
All (shout/actions): With a right! (extend right arm)

HE’S THE MEANEST
(Melody – Itself – similar to Okinawa HHH melody)
He’s the meanest,
He sucks the horse’s penis,
He’s the meanest, he’s a horse’s ass.
Ever since he found it,
All he does is pound it,
He’s the meanest,
He’s a horse’s ass.
So drink chug a lug, chug a lug, chug a lug . . .

Roll back his foreskin for him, for him.
Roll back, roll back,

INTERNATIONAL HASH HYMN
(Melody – Swing Low, Sweet Chariot)
Note: gestures accompany words
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
I looked over Jordan and what did I see,
Coming for to carry me home,
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
If you get there before I do,
Coming for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends that I’m coming too,
Coming for to carry me home.
(repeat with variations: humming and gestures only, silence and gestures only, double-time, women’s version, Scooby-Doo version, men’s version)
HERE’S TO ________ (BASIC DOWN-DOWN SONG)
(Melody – Itself)
VERSION # 1
Here’s to [hash name] ,
He’s true blue,

Through and through,
He’s a pisspot,

Tried to go to heaven,
But he went the other way,
Drink it down, down, down . . .
THE MAYOR’S DAUGHTER
The Mayor of Bayswater has got a lovely daughter
And the hairs on her dicky di do hang down to her knees.
CHORUS:
One black one, one white one
and one with a bit of shite on,
and one with a little light on,
TO SHOW US THE WAY!
If she was my daughter I’d cut them a little shorter
And the hairs on her dicky di do hang down to her knees.
CHORUS
I’ve felt it, I’ve smelt it, it’s just like a piece of velvet
And the hairs on her dicky di do hang down to her knees.
CHORUS
I’ve seen it, I’ve seen it, I’ve been in between it
And the hairs on her dicky di do hang down to her knees.
CHORUS
It would take a coal miner to find her vagina
And the hairs on her dicky di do hang down to her knees.
CHORUS
She married an Italian with balls like a bloody stallion
And the hairs on her dicky di do hang down to her knees.
MEET THE HASHERS
(Melody – Flintstones Theme)
Hashers, meet the hashers,
They’re the biggest drunks in history,
From the, town of [YOUR TOWN],
They’re the leaders in debauchery.
Half minds, trailing shiggy through the years,
Watch them as they down a lot of beers,
Down down, down down down down,
Down down down down down down down down down,
Down down, down down down down,
Down down down down down down down down down!
SHITTY TRAIL
(Melody – The Mickey Mouse Club)
S-H-I, T-T-Y, T-R-A-I-L,

Than run your shitty trail,
S-H-I, T-T-Y, T-R-A-I-L.
SOLDIER SONG
Asshole, asshole, a soldier I will be,
To piss, to piss, two pistols on my knee,
For cunt, for cunt, country and for king,
Asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole,
A soldier I will be.
Drink it down, down, down . . .
TAKE IT IN YOUR HAND MRS. MURPHY
Melody – Itself
Take it in your hand, Mrs. Murphy
For it only weighs a quarter of a pound
It’s got hair on its neck like a turkey (gobble, gobble, gobble!)
And it spits when you shake it up and down …Down, down, down, down.
THERE WAS A LITTLE BIRD
(Melody – Itself)
There was a little bird,
No bigger than a turd,
A-sittin’ on a telephone pole.
He ruffled up his neck,
And shit about a peck,
He puckered up his little asshole.
(point at violators): Asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole,
He puckered up his little asshole.
THEY OUGHT TO BE PUBLICLY PISSED ON
Melody – My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
They ought to be publicly pissed on,
They ought to be publicly shot,
They ought to be tied to a urinal,
And left there to fester and rot,
Him, him, fuck him!
Drink it down, down, down . . .

There is a game called twenty toes,
That’s played around the town,
Women play with ten toes up,
And men with ten toes … down down down down down down….
WHY ARE WE WAITING?
(Melody – Come Let Us Adore Him)

Why are we waiting,
Could be fornicating (masturbating, etc),
Oh, why are we waiting,
So fucking long, etc . . .
WHY WAS HE BORN SO BEAUTIFUL
(Melody – Itself)
Why was he born so beautiful
Why was he born at all?
He’s no fucking use to anyone,
He’s only got one ball!
Him, him, fuck him!
Drink it down down down down…
You Fill Up My Anus
(Melody – “Annie’s Song”)
You fill up my anus
Like Grandma’s Douchebag with vinegar,
Like a Boston creme donut,
Like a chocolate eclair!
Like a porn star from ‘Frisco,
Like a virgin with Crisco,
You fill up my anus,
Come fill me again!
Ziggy Zaggy…
The purpose of the ziggy-zaggy chant is to point out breaches in circle etiquette – members of the circle point at the offender and repeat chant loudly:
Ziggy Zaggy Ziggy Zaggy
OY OY OY
Ziggy Zaggy Ziggy Zaggy
OY OY OY
Drink it down, down, down
. . . and so on until offender completes a down-down . . . alternatively, the ziggy-zaggy chant can be performed whenever someone screws up a verse in a hash song (of course, the offending singer must immediately do a down-down while the pack chants). There are several substitutes for “ziggy-zaggy” if you get bored with the basic chant, as in:
Shiggy shaggy, shiggy shaggy,
Oi, Oi, Oi!
Motorcycle, motorcycle,
Vroom, Vroom, Vroom!
Locomotive, locomotive,
Choo, Choo, Choo!
Helicopter, helicopter,
Whirl, Whirl, Whirl! (or Whop, Whop, Whop!)
Submarine, submarine,
Glug, Glug, Glug!
Motorcar, motorcar,
Beep, Beep, Beep!
Telephone, telephone,
Ring, Ring, Ring!
