A hundred groans upon the air
Above the yelk and shoots arise,
And bones are erunehing everywhere,
While shriek proclaim the agonies.
Oh, listen tothe glad, sweet cries
That follow on the mob's mad praise,
When they poke out each others eyes
Oh, happy, joyous college days!
Now watch the halfbaek, debonair,
Push in face as on he flies,
Or break head beyond repair
In this, his gentle exercise!
And see the rush as he unties
His knotted legs or starts to Craze
Upon the mud that heath him lies
Oh, happy, joyous college dayk
The ambulance fits here and there
To gather up the mangled thighs,
The unclaimed heads, the tufh Of hair,
That once were full Of enterprisel
Weep not If mothers darling dies,
And death his siehtless orbs doth glaze,
Veil chant his valoe to the skies
Oh, happy, joyous college daysl
