The Varsity Drag |
We’ve always thought |
Knowledge is naught |
We should be taught to dance |
Right here at Tate |
We’re up to date |
We teach a great new dance |
Don’t think that I brag |
I speak of the drag |
Why should a sheikh |
Learn how to speak |
Latin and Greek badly? |
Give him a neat |
Motto complete |
Say it with feet gladly! |
First lesson right now |
You’ll love it and how you’ll love it: |
Here is the drag, see how it goes |
Down on the heels, up on the toes |
That’s the way to do the Varsity Drag |
Do-dee-odle-oh-do! |
Hotter than hot, newer than new |
Meaner than mean, bluer than blue |
Gets as much applause as waving the flag! |
You can pass many a class |
Whether you’re dumb or wise |
If you’ll all answer the call |
When your professor cries: |
«Everybody down on the heels, up on the toes |
Stay after school and learn how it goes |
Everybody do the varsity drag!" |
