Bright College Days - Tom Lehrer

Bright college days

Oh carefree days that fly

To thee we sing

With our glasses raised on high

Let's drink a toast as each of us recalls

Ivy covered professors in ivy covered halls

Turn on the spigot

Pour the beer and swig it

And gaudeamus igit ur

Here's to parties we tossed

To the games that we lost

We shall claim

That we won them some day

To the girls young and sweet

To the spacious back seat

Of our roommate's beat up chevrolet

To the beer and benzedrine

To the way that the dean

Tried so hard to be pals with us all

To excuses we fibbed

To the papers we cribbed

From the genius

Who lived down the hall

To the tables down at morey's

(wherever that may be)

Let us drink a toast to

All we love the best

We will sleep through all the lectures

And cheat on the exams

And we'll pass

And be forgotten with the rest

Oh soon we'll be out amid

The cold world's strife

Soon we'll be sliding down

The razor blade of life

Ready

But as we go our sordid seprate ways

We shall ne'er forget thee

Thou golden college days

Hearts full of youth

Hearts full of truth

Six parts gin to one part vermouth
