AIR—Benny Havens, oh!

Cantatores Idem.

Come, all ye jolly Juniors, and stand up in a row,
For singing sentimentally we're going for to go!

Oh! now you Greek Oration man we see your envious look;

We care not for appointments, for morning, night and noon—

And those two Philosophical with jealousy are strook;

We're singing loud the praises of the jolly Wooden Spoon.

For cochleaureati but join in this our tune,
And raise on high the chorus of the jolly Wooden Spoon.

The jolly Wooden Spoon!

The jolly Wooden Spoon!

The Jolly Wooden Spoon! &c.

We're singing loud the praises of the jolly Wooden Spoon!

What adds to our enjoyment, our pride and glory too,

To the fearful Freshmen we would sing, who sit so far behind—

Is that so many ladies fair are present to our view,

Oh! dare not gaze upon the spoon, lest you be stricken blind!

We thank them for their favor, it is a weighty boon,

Look forward for a year or so, you will be Soph'mores soon,

We sing as well their praises as the glories of the Spoon.

And Sophomore Biennial decides the Wooden Spoon.

The glories of the Spoon! &c.

Decides the Wooden Spoon! &c.

But one short year remains to us and we'll be here no more,

And Sophomores remember well, on you our mantle falls—

So if you think of husbands from the Class of Fifty-four,

'Tis yours to stand, in fifty-four, within these hallowed walls!

You must, sweet ladies, be on hand, you cannot be too soon.

Among you, though you know him not, there stands an embryo Jun.

Permit us to propose to you the man who has the Spoon.

Whose name upon the Tutors' books is writ against the Spoon.

The man who has the Spoon!

Is writ against the Spoon! &c.

The man who has the Spoon!
