SING A SONG OF SIX CHECKS
[back to the top]
Melody – Sing a Song of Six Pence
Composed by Splat, East Bay HHH
Sing a song of six checks,
A pocket full of flour,
Four-and-twenty hashers,
Hashing for an hour.
And when they found the drink check,
There wasn't any there.
They all agreed to go On-In
And lynch that gosh darned hare!

DOES A HASHER? [back to the top]
Melody - Do Your Ears Hang Low?
Does a hasher like to walk,
Does a hasher like to run,
Does a hasher like to be where they're having all the fun?
Can he drink a 12-ounce beer,
While his friends all sing and cheer,
Now your time… has… come
So drink it down, down, down . . .

Melody - Lumberjack Song (Monty Python)
He's a hasher, he's okay,

Or he wears it well.

Drink it!
Wear it!
etc . . .

HAPPY HASHER [back to the top]
Melody - The Happy Wanderer
I love to go a-hashing
Along the mountain track,
And as I go,
I love to throw
Flour from my sack.
CHORUS:
Valdaree, valdarah, valdaree,
Valdarah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valdaree, valdarah
Throwing flour from my sack
CHORUS
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun
So joyously
It calls to me
"Come join our happy throng."
CHORUS
I tip my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me
The blackbird call
So loud and sweet
From every dogwood tree.
CHORUS
High overhead the Skylark wings.
He never stays at home.
And just like me,
He loves to sing
As over the hills he roams.
CHORUS
Oh may I go a-hashing
Until the day I die.
Oh may I always
Drink and sing
Beneath our clear blue sky.
CHORUS
HASHERS GO RUNNING ONE BY ONE [back to the top]
Melody - The Ants Go Running One By One
The hashers go running one by one, On-On! On-On!
The hashers go running one by one, On-On! On-On!
The hashers go running one by one,
The little one’s feet are going numb.
And they all go running , having such fun
Get out of the sun! boom, boom, boom!
Two by two – The little one had to retighten his shoe
Three by three – The little one misses his color TV
Four by four – The little one’s legs are getting sore
Five by five – The little one needs a drink to revive
Six by six – Insulting the hares who are up to their tricks
Seven by seven – The little one realizes it’s approaching eleven!
Eight by eight – The little one checks his current heart rate
Nine by nine – The little one’s lost and starts to whine
Ten by ten – You know they'll just go and do it again
I'VE ONLY HALF A BRAIN [back to the top]
Melody - If I Only Had a Brain (The Wizard of Oz)
I could wile away the hours,
Searchin' hills for flour,
Across a wide terrain.
I'll be chipper, and I'll be cheerful,
While I give the hares an earful,
'Cause I've only half a brain.
With my arms and legs a pumpin’,
I'll be walkin’, runnin’ and jumpin’,
Through dirt, and scrub, and rain.
I'll be drawing lots of chalk marks,
As we go through brush and dog parks,
'Cause I've only half a brain.
CHORUS:
I'll do down-downs till the sun begins to glare
Then I'll kick back in my lawn chair,
We’ll get strange looks , but I don’t care,
As I shout out, "Let’s kill that hare!"
Then my stories I’ll be a sharin’,
As the passersby are starin’,
Our merriment unrestrained
Oh, our hashes they’ll be a trial,
As we cover each long mile,
'Cause we've only half a brain.
LEAVING ON A HASH RUN [back to the top]
Melody - Leaving on a Jet Plane
All my flours packed, I'm ready to go
My whistle’s ready, I gave it a blow
I hate to wake you up and say goodbye
But the trail is breakin', its early morn'
The hash is waiting, they’re blowin' the horn
Already I'm so thirsty I could cry.
CHORUS:
Chase me and cheer for me
Run around the frontier for me
Follow me as I crest the plateau
I'm leavin' on a hash run
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, hounds, I hate to go.
There's so many times I've laid flour down
Running all over the blasted town
I tell you now, there’s nothing that’s more fun
Every place I hash, I think of you
Every down I do, I do for you
When I come back, I won’t have been outdone.
CHORUS
Now the time has come to leave you
Once again, I shall deceive you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the hash we start
Follow my trail, you’ll soon depart
With many fond thoughts, I really have to say, (chorus)
CHORUS
SUPER HASHER [back to the top]
Melody - Battle Hymn of the Republic
He started off at five, as the GM cried "On-On,"
Loping o'er the hedges to the blowin' of the horn,
But the run it was a righty, and the poor bloke went straight on,
Oh, he ain't gonna Hash no more.
CHORUS:
Gory, gory, what a heck of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a heck of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a heck of a way to die,
Oh, he ain't gonna Hash no more.
He ran through the bushes to the cheering of the throng,
Following their happy cries, he felt he wasn't wrong,
But the cunning little bluffers were just stringing him along,
Oh, he ain't gonna Hash no more.
CHORUS
He ran on through the forests as the daylight turned to
gray,
Searching for the flour, but it was too far away,
He knew he had to find it soon to run another day,
Oh, he ain't gonna Hash no more.
CHORUS
It was approaching darkness, and many hills he'd crossed,
He'd traversed mighty rivers, and he’d sucked up much exhaust,
But now he began to realize that he was totally lost,
Oh, he ain't gonna Hash no more.
CHORUS
As he ran he thought about his thirst and waning power
He damned the hare and co-hare for not laying much more flour,
He thought of all the snacks and drinks he wanted to devour,
Oh, he ain't gonna Hash no more.
CHORUS
He thought of all the hounds who were back eating at the
truck,
And the folks who left early so they could make a buck,
But our poor bloke was miles away, and he was out of luck,
Oh, he ain't gonna Hash no more.
CHORUS
So, if you go a'runnin' on the very next night,
And come across our hasher looking oh so very slight,
Take pity on our bloke and save him, if only to be polite,
Oh, he ain't gonna Hash no more.
THROW DOWN SOME FLOUR [back to the top]
Melody - Beer Barrel Polka
Throw down some flour,
We'll have a barrel of fun.
Throw down some flour,
We've got the pack on the run.
Down Down on-on-on
Sing out a song of raucous cheer,
Now's the time to throw down some flour
For the pack’s all here.
Melody - Yesterday (Beatles)
Yesterday,
All my muscles seemed to feel OK,
Now my body doesn't work today,
Oh I went hashing yesterday.
Aching knee,
Jumped that pit, why’d no one disagree?
Gotta stop, that is my new decree,
I think my doctor will agree
Why I
ran that hash?
Was so rash!
I was lead astray!
I jumped
way too high,
here I lie
from yesterday
Can’t go play,
With scabs and scars, I knew I’d pay
Now my joints are all in disarray
Oh I went hashing yesterday.
I went hashing yesterday…
