Jolly Students
Jolly Students.
202.8
You may talk about your colleges, fair Harvard and old Yale,
And all the universities whose banners brave the gale,
Of the azure flag of Cambridge, and old Oxford’ snoble blue.
That fly in far old England over hearts both staunch and true;
From the sunny shores of Frisco up to distant Portland, Maine,
Away off to the Philippines and away back home again,
There’s no college, university, or school can ever show,
So brave. so true, so great a crew of students as we know.
Chorus-
For we are jolly students of our Yankee land, we’ve got the sand,
Our colors are red, white, and blue.
We bear the Stars and Stripes of our America, Rah! Rah!
We’re the kind to dare and do.
We are scholars of no city, have no South. North, East, or West.
But you’ll find our schoolrooms everywhere where freedom’s star may rest.
On the glorious Fourth, the deed was signed and this great school begun:
Its founder was no other than our own George Washington.
And so every seat of learning now, wherever. It may be,
Must bow before the greatness of our school of Therty.
And their many gallant colors must be dipped without ado
To that peerless, fearless, banner of our own red. white and blue,
Chorus.
