Song

On page 62, Buford learns the supporters' "Hector Song" regarding traveling around on the tube for free:

Ha ha ha

He he he

The Hector's coming

But he can't catch me.

On the racks

Under the seats

Into the bogs

The Hector's coming

But he can't catch me.

Ha ha ha

He he he

The ICJ is on the jib again

Having a really g-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-d time.

There are a few rhetorical devices in this song that are interesting just because it's interesting that a song this short and simple would incorporate rhetorical devices. There is repetition with the "ha ha ha" and "he he he" at the beginning and the end, which shows continuity in the feeling of the song (62). "The Hector" alludes to the British Rail ticket collector while the "bogs," "racks," and "seats" all allude to the train carriage and how it is set up - this part implies that the supporters run and climb all over all areas of the train in order to stay away from the Hector (62). There are two instances of rhyme with "he he he" and "but he can't catch me," showing that the giggles of "he he he" are related to the fact that Hector cannot catch the football supporters on the train to make them pay (62). The rhyme shows that the supporters find this fact very funny, and they go so far as to say it twice. 

So turns out this nonsense song isn't quite as nonsense as I previously thought, but actually has as little bit of meaning underneath the rough exterior.
