Walled in.

When Johnnie went off to Yale, to Yale,
He was a parlor boarder:
They sent him down to Eli Town
To study law and order.
They told him not to study much
Because he was so frail-
I wonder what his ma-mah will say
When Johnnie comes back from Yale?
When Johnnie comes back from
Yale again, Huroo! Huroo!
He’ll greet his pa with a rah-rah-rah,
And his aunts and uncles, too.
The local band and the fire patrol
Will chase the pig up a slippery pole,
And there’ll be a scream from the baseball team
When Johnnie comes home from Yale.
When Johnnie went off to Yale, to Yale
He was a son of peace, man.
But he soon became the pet of Fame
When he whipped a fat policeman.
He sat up nights by the candle lights
Till his face grew rather pale-
But I wonder what his ma-mah will say When Johnnie comes home from Yale?
When Johnnie comes home from Yale again,
Shrimp! Shrimp!
He’ll stop the clocks for several blocks
And the fire-alarms will clang.
The family horse will neigh and
prance And grandmamma will try to dance;
“Twill be for the good of the neighborhood
When Johnnie comes home from Yale.
When Johnnie went off to Yale, to Yale,
His foliage was vernal;
But now on his vest he’s wearing a crest
In an order of Greek fraternal.
His friends refined are awfully kind
In keeping him out of jail-
But I wonder what his ma-mah will say
When Johnnie comes home from Yale?
