Senior Party. Spring 1947,,

Here we are together,

Together on our honey-moon;

Who cares about the weather,

All we‘ll do is spoon, and soon,
Surrounded by people,

We're still allalone,

No more courtin' on the telephone.

Now that life - expectancy

Is reachin' eighty-five,

That's not the real expectancy
That keeps our love alive,
Two-thousand eleven

We‘ll still bill and”coo.

Can't go on without lovin' you.

CONEY, CC.\'E‘.’ ISLAND

Cone Cone I

That's the place for me
Where bathing beauts in briefest suits
Never see the sea

Every red hot mama

With her sugar dad

Strolling down the boardwalk
Flirts with every lad .
Junior wants some ice cream
Mother wants a tan

Daddy wants a dancer

Sister wants a man

How about some pop corn?
Come and see the babes
Where the hell's the ocean?
Haven‘t seen a wave‘

Coney, Coney Island

That's the place for me

Now listen kid I‘ve been around
I‘ve been kinda giddy

In Atlantic City

But it's still Coney Island for me.

MAGNOLIAS IN YOUR EYES 
I can be the bravest man
In a cavalry or ten
I can face a whole brigade without
a rise. But my heart within me balks
And I cannot even talk
When I see magnolias in your eyes

I have kept the upper hand

with a savage pirate band

I have made my way through armies

in disguise, But I cannot save myself
When I see magnolias in your eyes.

I could live a year or two

In the depths of he bayou

I could kill an octopus of any size

I can do most any feat

But my boldness must retreat

When I see magnolias in your eyes.

COO

We have steered our bikes with skill
Up and down on Skinner Hill

Nearly fast enough for an Olympic Prize
Now we jog a little ways and

we're limping several days

still we've got magnolias in our eyes.

With Miss Mosscrop and MIss Timm

We did cartwheels int he gym

At lacrosse and soccer got our exercise
But our swayback further curves

With arthritis and pinched nerves

Still we've got magnolias in our eyes.

Vassar Devils took us much

To the Drug and to the Dutch

Th we'd eat two pizza pies of any size
NowA ake one spoon of cream

and we bul at every seam

Still we've got magnolias in our eyes.

We'd play bridge for half the night
Then start papers we must write
Typing on until the sun began to rise
Now we drink a glass of wine

Fall asleep at 10 to 9

Still we've got magnolias in our eyes.

We could live a year or two

And we hope that's what we'll do

But before we must start saying our goodbyes
One more course ma: e survive....
Geriatrics one oh five

Still we've got magnolias in our eyes.

MANY OTHERS WAINS HAVE TOLD  ‘ 
“ (Music & Lyrics by Joan Weisman)

Love has been a well-known story,-
Known to many pairs of old,

And the words I want to tell you,
Many other swains have told.

So if I should say I love you,
 That you set my dreams aglow,
 Though the words are over—used, dear,
They still mean I want you so.

Though I may not be a Humphrey Bogart,
A Brummel or a Van,
Still I can have the one ambition

To be your only man.

Why must you be so indifferent?
Must you be so very cold?

When I'm longing so to tell you
What many other swains have told.

YOU'RE ESSENTIAL TO ME

like a new bonnet

An old English sonnet

A cottage that's built by the sea
like week—ends at beaches

Sugar on peaches

You're Essential To Me.

like summer vacations

A new book of rations

The honey that's made by a bee
like winter and firelight
Summer and starli_ht

You're Essential To Me.

was so stunned when I met you
-ow could it really be true?

lo it have been accidental
were the Fates in it too?
dge goes with dummy

And England can't live without tea
like mayor and campaign
New Year's and champagne

As Time Goes By

 Hupfeld like
You must remember this, how boys begged for a kiss
But settled for a sigh.
And everyone was really shy
But Time Went By.

always

Now when two people woo, there's nothing they won't do-
And nothing's on the sly .

No fundamental rules apply

Since time went by.

Moonlite and love songs, strictly out of date.
Sreakers and flashers, movies to X rat.
Woman needs man and neither one CAN WAIT
To give the thing a try.

Its not the same ols saga, their pot has made them gaga
their coke has made them high.

I think we had more fun in our day

But time went by.

Stein Song
(University of l\‘Iaine)



Fill the steins to dear old Maine, To the youth, to the fire,

Shout till the rafters ringl To the life that is moving and calling us!
Stand and drink a toast once againl To the Gods, to the Fates,

Let every loyal Maine man sing— To the rulers of men and their destinies;
Then drink to all the happy hours, To the lips, to the eyes,

Drink to the careless days— To the girls who will love us some day! Oh-
Drink to Maine, our Alma Mater, (llepeat chorus)

The College of our hearts always.

Copyright 1910 by Carl Fischer, Inc., New York
To the trees, to the skyl copyright renewed.
To the spring in its glorious happiness,

Desperado


He was a desperado from the wild and woolly West, 
Ile came into Chicago just to give the West a rest. 
He wore a big smnbrero and a gun beneath his vest, 
And everywhere he went he gave his war whoop. 

He was a brave, bold, man and a—desperado, 
From Cripple Creek, way down in—Colorado,
And he walked around like a—big tornado, 
And everywhere he went he gave his war whoopl ‘I
0, I
He went to Coney Island just to take in all the sights, 
He saw the hootchic,-lcootehic and the girls dressed up in tights, 
Ile got so darned excited that he shot out all the lights,
And everywhere he went he gave his war whoop. 
A great big fat policeman was a-wallcing do\vn his heat, 
Ile saw this desperado come a-walking down the street. 
lle grabbed him by the whiskers, and he grabbed him by the seat, - 
And threw him where he wouldn't give his war whoop.

You can easily see she's not my mother,
’Cause my mother's over forty-nine.
You can easily see she’s not my sister,
'Cause I never showed my sister such a
wonderful time,
You can easily see she’s not my sweetheart,
'C:mse my sweetheart's too refined.
She's just a slip of a kid, she didn't know
what she did;
She's just a personal friend of mine.

Oh, a Zulu king with a big nose ring, fell in love with a fair young maid,

And every night by the pale moonlight, across the lake he came.

Oh, a hug and a kiss for a Zulu miss, in the shade of the old palm tree, ‘
Whene’er they met, they sang a duct, and it sounded like this to me:
Bar-rumph (kiss kiss) bar-rnmph (kiss kiss) bar-rumph ti (li a di aye,
Bar—rumph, (kiss kiss) bar-rumph (kiss kiss) bar-rumph ti di a di aye.

We'll build a bungalow, big enough for two,

And when we're married, how happy we’ll be,

Underneath the bamboo, underneath the bamboo tree, boomboom

Boom, boom, boom boom boom boom boom boom!

If you’ll be M-I-N-E mine, I'll be T-IIsI—N-E thine,
And I'll L-O-V-E love you all the T-I-M-E time;

You are the B-E-S-T best of all the R-E-S-'1' rest, ,
And l’ll L~O-V-E love you all the T-I-M—E time, ' . 
Wrap 'em up, stack ’em up, any old time.

Sornebody’s been here giving lessons in love;
It lacks that inspiration sent from Heaven above, walla walla walla
Oh, that kiss you gave me sure was a winner;
You're no beginner, 'cause somebody's been here before.
You're second-hand.

Drunk last night, drunk the night before;

Coin’ to get drunk tonight like I never got drunk
before.

For when I'm drunk I'm as happy as can be,

' For I am a member of the souse family.

Singin' glorious, glorious,

One keg o' beer for the four of us.

Clorybe to God that there are no more of us,
For one of us could drink it all alone.

All alone (damn near), all alone (damn near),
Glory be to God that there are no more of us,
For one of us could drink it all alone.

(Tune "C")
Oh, when you hear the roll of the big bass drum,
Then you kno\v that the Dutch have come.

The Dutch Company is the best company
That ever came over from the old country.

There's the Amsterdam Dutch and the Rotterdam
Dutch,
The Pottsdam Dutch and the C-- d--- Dutch.

lagged But Right



Then there's the Irish, but they're not much,
But they're a damn sight better than the G-- d--
Dutch. ’

Oh, why do we go with the girls so much,
When we could drink beer with the C-- d---
Dutch?

When a Greek meets a Greek it's a restaurant or
two;

When a Dutch meets a Dutch it's a keg of lager
brew.

(Tune "A")
Singin' glorious, glorious, etc.

Oh, they had to cart Carry to the ferry,
And the ferry carriecl Carry to the shore.
And the reason that they had to carry Carry,
Was that Carry couldn’t carry any more.

I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged but right,

A thief and a gambliu' woman, drunk eve.ry night.



I order porterhouse steak three times a day for my board,

'l‘hat’s more than any ordinary gal can afford.

I got a big handsome man to play around at my feet,

A big electric fan to keep me cool when I sleep.

For I'm a ramblin' woman, a gambliu' woman, and Lord am I tight,
I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged but right.

Oh, How He Lied

-He told her he loved, but oh, how he liedl

Smoked his cigar, smoked his cigar.

He sat down beside her and smoked his cigar,

Smoked his cigar-r-r.

She sat there beside him, and played her
guitar.

She told him she loved him, but she did not
lie. ‘

kitty, perfumed and fair,
Sn-ollml out on a backyard fence for air
When a tomcat, lean and lithe and strong,
his I y and yuller, came a-strolling along.

I In sniilcd at the perfumed Persian cat

As she slrutted about with much éclat
Ami a~thinlcin' the time to pass,

I ie whispered, "Kiddo, you sure get class."

" "i‘is iitten and proper," was her reply,
‘/‘\s she arched her whiskers over her e e.
I am ribboned, sleep on illows of sil ,

Ami I daily bathe in certi ed milk.

"But I'm not content with what I've got;

‘ I ought to be happy, but happy I'm not.

I should be joyful, yes, I should indeed,
For I'll have you know, I'm highly pedigreed."

"Now, hark," said the tomcat with a smile,
“You must trust in your new-found friend for
a while.
You must abandon your backyard fence,
My dear, what you lack is experience."

The joys of iivin he then unfurled

As he told her ta es of the outside world;
And then suggested, with a leering laugh,
A trip for two down the primrose path.

The morning after the night before,

The cat came home at the hour of four,
The innocent look from her face had went,
And in its place was a smile of content.

Two months later the kittens came

To that Persian kitty of pedigreed fame;

They were not Persian—they were black and tan-
And she told them their pa was a travelin' man.

He asked to hold my hand, I seriously objected.
I knew the feeling was grand, but I might not be respected.

He asked me for a hug. l .~«'rimIsly ohjmetcd.
I knew the feeling was snug, but I might not be respected.

Ile uskv-(l me for u kiss, l .-:«-n innsly uhjuclotl.
I know the feeling was l»Ii~.~-;, but I might not bo rn.s'p¢'('iml.

IT WAS MIDNIGHT ON THE OCEAN

-ls» silver ‘threads mmomqmq H

It was midnight on the ocean, not a streetcar was insight;

While the sun was shining brightly, for it had rained all the night.
'Twas a summer's day in Winter, and the rain was snowing fast,
As the barefoot girl with shoes on stood there sitting in the grass.

It was evening and the sunrise was just setting in the west;

And the fishes in the treetops were all cuddled in their nests.

As the wind was bowing bubbles, lightning shot from left to right;
Everything that you could see had been hidden out of sight.

While the organ peeled potatoes, lard was rendered by the choir;
When the sexton rang the dishrag, someone set the church on fire.
"Holy Smokes!” the reacher shouted, as he madly tore his hair,
Now his head resemhles heaven, for there is no parting there.

THE VUL-GAR BCATMAN

How I love mine boatman

My very vu1ger°boatman

He's just a Russian, dfitshin', Prussian,
Russian from the sea. ~

When he comes from the ocean

He smells like Scott's emulsion _

He's got that silky kind of oilskin
What you love to touch.

He calls me his moimaid

I just love to be his slave

His kisses upset me just like the ocean wave
But I still I love mine boatman

My very vulgar boatman«

He's just a Russian, crushin', Prussian,
Russian from the sea.

Mary Ann McCarty
(Tune: Battle llymn of the Republic)

Mary Ann ML-Curly, she went out to dig some clams;

,-Mary Ann McCarty, she went out to dig some clams;

Mary Ann McCarty, she went out to dig some clams,
But she didn't get a single solitary clam. .

All that Mary got was oysters, (three times)
But she didn't get a single solitary clam.

She dug up all the mud there was in San Francisco bay.
Glory, glory, what a helluva time she hadl "
She went to all the parties that the Psi US ever had.

All that Mary got was trench mouthl

AFTER YOU WORE A TULIP 
Adam . . 
Oh, Adam was the first man before the world began V 
The Lord took mud and sand and from them He made man :
But Adam wasn't satisfied. He said, "I want a bride," 
So the Lord took out a rib from Adam's side. 
You could tell them from each other by the clothes the other were 

He wore tuli a big yellow tulip 
n she wore a 1g red rose. - 
When they gfew older twas then he grew bolder ”
From her head down to her toes ‘ 
They started apanic, said "The Lord was some mechanic 
when He made you from a rib from my side, 
And if I ever want a harem up,
I've got six more ribs to spare Him
And she blushed like a sweet June Bride. 
N.B.- - Beforesinging "Oh, Adam", sing one verse of "When you 
- -wore a tulip." 
 


OH, WHEN THE MOON SHINES
Oh, when the moon shines, I want to 
hold somebody’s hand.
Oh, when the moon shines, I begin 
to understand. _,.1 Why all the little bees and all the 
little bears never go in threes ; they always go in pairs.

Oh, when the moon shines, I want to
hold somebody's hand.

Why all the little bears and all the
little bees always go in pairs - they
never go in'threes.

§even Beers With the Wrong Woman

 Seven beers with the wrong woman;
We sat at a table for two.
 And the first thing I knew, she whispered,
"Honey Boy, I could sure go for vou!"

Then my heart beat a little bit quicker,
- As-I fondled her sweet little hand°
Sig‘ . I swelled up with pride, but oh boy, how she lied!
' I sure was a foulish young man. —
 

 Seven beers with the wrong woman.
She asked me to get up and dance.
Around and around we circled,
I Til I felt for the dough in my pants

 when I asked her if she had seen it,
She looked up at me and said "No".
From that day, to me, it's a great mystery

 I wonder Just where t did go.

‘. Seven beers with the wrong woman.
Her husband came in after that.
And when he spied us together,
He rushed up and told me to scat.
He took me by the seat of my britches,
And he sure didn't leave any slack.
T'was then I got tossed out the door by the boss,
And he told me to never come back.

Seven beers with the wrong woman.

It left me with only regrets.

And I guess she was only follin',

When she called me her darlin' and pets.
Now I wish that the lord had made Adam,
And had nver made anyone else. '

But there's one thing I know;—-

That the next place place I go,

I'll have fourteen beers by myself.

And if you ask her why she were that ribbon,
She wore it for her Williams man who's far,

Far away, far away; far away, far away;
She wore it for her Williams man whds far,

Around her knee, she wore a purple garter;
She wore it in the springtime, and in the month

And if you ask her why she wore that garter,
She \\'on! it for her VVilliaius man who's far,

IN THE QUARTER MASTER CORPS

Oh. it's ale, ale, ale, that makes you feel so hale.

Far away, iar away; far away, far away;
She wore it for her \rVilliams man who's far,
far away.

Around the block, she pushed a baby carriage.
Behind the door her father kept a shotgun.
On the wall she keeps a marriage license.

In the desk, the sheriff keeps a warrant.

And in her heart, she has a secret passion;

She has it for an Amherst man who's not so
far away.

Mules
(Tune: Auld Lang Sync)

On mules \ve find two legs behind,
and two we find before,

\Ve stand behind before we find é

When were behind the two behind
we find what these be for,

So stand before the two behind,

behind the two before.

MY GIRL

From drinking too much gin—ger ale.

Advertise
(Tune: Auld Lang Syne)

The fish, it never eaekles 'bout
it's million eggs or so,

The hen is quite a different bird,
one egg—and hear her crow.

The fish we spnrn, but crown the hen,
which leads me to surmise:

Don’t hide your light, but blow your horn,
it pays to advertise.

NORTH AFTER DINNER SONGS

"HOME ON THE QUAD”— words by Joan Javits

Oh, give me a sub

who will scrub out the tub

Give me breakfast in bed on a tray
Give me something to eat -
I'm so sick of puffed wheat '

Old Matt didn't plan it this way.

Home, Home, on the quad

Where the North Tower's closest to God
Nhere seldom is heard

The song of a bird -

Cause the snow always covers the sod.

My rdmmate believes

We have 85 leaves

Haven't seen her since early last May
She's up skiing at Stowe

But there isn't no snow

Old Matt must have planned it this way.

Home, Home in the stacks

Where the seniors are breaking their backs
If your book's on reserve

Dearie, don't lose your nerve

Just swipe it and start to make tracks.

Give me free cigarettes

Give us hundreds of ts

Give us no classes on Saturday

Give Professors more dough

Or I tell you they'll blow

Old Matt didn't plan it this way.
Home, Home on the(Quad

Where the North Tower's closest to God
Where seldom is heard

The song of a bird

Cause the snow always covers the sod.

AT THE BOARDING HOUSE

(Tune: Silver Threads Among the Cold)

At the boarclin house where I stayed, everything was growing old;
Silver hairs among the butter, and the bread was all a—mold.

When the dog died, we had sausage, when the cat died, catnip toa,
But when the landlord diedAI left there, spare;-ibs were too much for mc_

Girls Can Never Change Their Nature
(Tune: Silver Threads Among the Cold)

Ci . n ver ch e their nature; that is quite beyond their reach.
If a girl is born a lemon, she can never be a peach.
But the law of compensation is the one I always preach,

You can always squeeze a lemon, but just try to squeeze a peach.
But you can try!

’Wolves when They're Young

They're wolves when they're young,
And they're wolves when they're old,
So beware of all men because they blow hot, blow cold-

All things that shine

My dear are not gold,

So beware of all men because they blow hot, blow cold.
Now you may work like a maniac

And jump around like a jumping jack

Just to keep your honey from sliding back

And then he flies off with a blonde.

They're wolves when they're young, etc.

Now I said to Jennie Jones the other day

"If a man falls for you just let him lay; '"
And don't you believe a single word they say.
Cause they blow hot, blow cold.

When a man proposes by the garden gate, '

He gets you hot and bothered, then procrastinates,

So honey, just be careful when you're picking out a mate,
They blow hot, blow cold. -

Now you may work like a maniac,:tc.

I would play with fire any old day,

Just as long as I was sure that it was safe to play,
But dammit, the men don't play that way,

They blow hot, blow cold.

All things that shine, etc.

On the right side of Heaven we now take our stand. 
we don't chew tobacco because we do think 
That them that does chew it is liable to drink. 
Down with King Alc ohol, Down all you can.
Ah, Men....Ah women. Ah nuts.

Got our bags and got our reservations 
Got each dime we could afford 
with our hearts in wild anticipation 
Longed to hear that ‘Ann-a.pgLi_s_ call a 
Five oclock, th_at's- when we got up at five o'clock, 

' Potsy waitin' up to see us off, countin' every mile 
That leads us to our men in blue V ‘ ' 
Never thought my face could be so pea green 
Never thought I'd act like this 
with my knees as wobbly as spaghetti 
Here we come, Anapolis 
We got there, the goys were there to meet us 
Took us to a basketball game 
Went to the hop-, and home.at~2 oqgdggck ifl
and you can bet that they weren't tame“ ‘fll
Got to our rooms and they were full of people \
4 on the bed and 4 on the floor ' 
Listened inqand this is what we heard - 
Roll over Jack and do it some more “

‘dish you could have seen our men marching in review...how we love you '9‘
And we still do L
After church we went and got some chow‘ .
Never thought a day could be such bliss 
They left us with our hearts upon our sleeves 
Fare thee well, Annapolis

NORTH SONG _
Words and Music by Joan Javits

We got it over you

The tower's got a super view

The wings you must admire, they could fly higher,
Cause they've got the spirit, tooo...

North is the very top,

The tower will rock, but never drop,

And if you venture forth you'll wind up at North...
Don't misconstrue it, we do mean Jewett.

Though we don't think you're a total flop,

We've got it over you, we've got it over you.

TEASIN' TEASIN'

(Verse I)
Teasin', Teasin', I was only teasing you,
Teasin', Teasin', just to see what you would do.
(Of course you know that I was)

Teasin', Teasin', just to prove your lone was true
-Don't be angry, ‘cause

I was only, only teasin' you.

DEDICATED TO MISS BLANDING
(To the tune of TEASIN') Verse II

Found ‘er, founde ‘er

Vassar found ‘er when she came to us.

We found ‘er, found er

But we didn't know what name to call ‘er, when we hollered
Found ‘er, found ‘er, I

But Prexy lends us no relief;

If tuition drops or not, she's tops.

And let's just call her our Big Chief.

BLOOD ON THE SADDLE

There's blood on the saddle
And blood on the ground

And there's great big puddles
Of blood all around.

The cowboy lay in it.

All bloody and red .
For his branco dare throwed him
And bashed in his head.

Oh pity the cowboy

All bloody with gore
For he ain't gonna ride
Any branco no more.

BEER THAT PICKLED DEAR OLD DAD

I want a beer

Just like the beer

That pickled dear old dad.
It was a beer, and the only beer
That daddy ever had,

A real old fashioned beer
With lots of foam

It took six men

To carry daddy home.

Oh I want a beer

Just like the beer

That pickled dear old dad.



SLING-A DA INK

sling-a da ink and push—a da pen along

At Vassar College upon the Hudson,

We sling-a da ink a¥&*push—a da pen along.

GOT ALONG WITHOUT YOU

Got along without you before I met you
Gonna get along without you now.

Going to find somebody just as good as you
Cause I never loved you anyhow.

You ran around with every girl in town,
You'll never know how much it got me down.
Got along with out ygu, etc

THE LAVENDAR COWBOY

He was only a lavendar cowboy, and the
hairs on his chest were but two. Yet
he wanted to be like the heros, and do
as the he-men-do.

Herbicide and many hair tonics, he

rubbed in both morning and night, but
each time he looked in the mirror, there
were only two hairs in sight. He fought
to save Red Nellie's honor-he cleaned out
an outlaw's nest, and he died with his
sixgwns a-smokin' and only two hairs

on his chest.

Let Her Sleep Under the Bar

'Twas a cold winter's evening, the guests were all leaving,
O'Lear was closing the bar,

When he turned and he said to the lady in red,

"Cet outl You can't stay where you are!"

She shed a sad tear in er bucket of beer

As she thought of the cold night ahead,

When a gentleman dapper step ed out of the—phone booth,
And these were the words that me said.

My ,"Her mother never told her the things a young girl should know,

About the \vays of college men, and howthey come and go (mostly go).
Age has taken her beauty, and sin has left its sad scar,

So remember your mother and sisters, boys, and let her sleep under the bar."
