| As I roved out on the streets of Northwestern |
| I spied a young freshman dejected and blue, I said |
| «Young man, why are you dejected?» |
| He said, «I'm Chinese and I can’t join Psi U!» |
| «I see by your frat pin that you are a Psi U |
| If I had a frat pin I’d be one too |
| But I can’t have a frat pin and I can’t be a Psi U |
| I can’t be a Psi U because my name’s Sherman Wu» |
| The dean said, «Now Sherman, don’t raise a commotion |
| It’s wrong to wash laundry in public you know |
| If he was just Jewish, Italian or German |
| But he’s so damn Chinese the whole campus would know» |
