Le Jeu de Paume, Bordeaux
To the Tune of “The Grand Old Duke of York”

   Oh, le Jeu de Paume Bordeaux
   enthralled these 12 women
   who entered the Open de France Femenin
   and are now going home again

   It was chasse quatorze et quatre
   and some chasses dever to boot
   and when the service is a passe
   it is neither in nor out (pronounced oot)

   Oh, we play againt Penny Lum
   our prospects are rather glum
   and to Christine, Giles and Julian
   we say “au revoir” et “merci bien”!


Written by Karen Hird and Stephanie Slack with input from Doris Siedentopf and Jean Ferris.

Sung at the dinner on the Saturday night. This was followed by a sung reply by the French contingent, and then by a stirring solo from Julian.
