Carlyle Stevenson’s El Patio Orchestra
Date: July 1925

Collegiate
Music & Lyrics: Moe Jaffe & Nat Bonx

Hail hail the gangs all here
Mustn't say the naughty word now.

Collegiate

Collegiate

Yes! we are collegiate

Nothing in-ter-med-jate
No ma’am
Trousers baggy
And our clothes are raggy
But we're rough and ready
Yea!

Garters are the things we never wear
And we haven't any use for red hot flannels
Very very seldom in a hurry
Never ever worry
We are Collegiate, Rah! Rah! Rah!

Alpha Beta Delta Gamma Theta
Lamba Chi Omega
Phi Gam
Lem-me Gim-me
One-a Haf-fa Dol-lah
Wear an Ar-rab Col-lah
Low!

Sigma
Kappa
Tap-pa Haf-fa Keg
That’s the Greek for all the lodges we belong to

Socker soaker Del-ta Hand-a Poker
Eats at every smoker

We are Collegiate, Rah! Rah! Rah!
