That one is one that stood out to me, too. Wonder what the tune is? I think I've heard the "more beer" part, though, as a chant.

How do we know it's an "official" songbook?

we don't. I doubt very strongly that it is. Some songs, certainly, are official "Alpha Gam" songs, like Chums, or the Farewell Song, etc. But that's about it.

Perhaps the link came from an Alpha Gam chapter that included ALL the songs they sang?

I have seen this yellow plastic binder before, didn't know about the cassette tape though!

I remember the yellow binder songbook, too.
Last convention the republished songbook, complete with CD, was available for sale. If anyone is needing/wanting one, contact IHQ

I went to the 1979 Diamond Jubilee convention and got both the binder and the cassette, both of which I still have.
