Lyrics (retrieved from Lyricsvault.net):
Oh you may think electual thing [?] of a life so gay and free
But college life's a knowledge life, is a life of all for me
Nothing to do but stay up all night
Make the late [?] study, play cards and fight
The clothes that we wear are a wonder to see!
Oh when we haze our fellow men and friendly tribes
That's a game that is glorious!
We don't mean, of course, to cripple him for life
For that makes such a muss!
We caress our friends with billy, brick or knife
Our reputation's notorious!
We always do to others as we would not
Have them do to us!
Father and mother pay all the bills, and we have all the fun
Of the friendly rivalry of college strife! (Hurray!)
We have to figure an awful lot to tell them what we've done
With the money that we've spent for college life!
In college days we love to haze every little fellow here
We make him stand upon one hand, and we pour things in his ear
Force him to eat up his gloves and shoes
Take all his money to buy us booze
We shave off his hair and shampoo him with beer!
In college games we have the greatest fun of all
Breaking their bones and biting them
We will find a fellow who is thin and tall
And kick him in the chest!
Joyously the waiting ambulance we call
While we're busy in fighting them!
If anyone is left alive, the football team do the rest!
Father and mother pay all the bills, and we have all the fun
Of the friendly rivalry of college strife!
We have to figure an awful lot to tell them what we've done
With the money that we've spent for college life!

davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2020/04/australia-songs-of-year-1950-2019.html
This video illustrates the evolution of popular music in Australia ranging from 1950 all the way to 2019. While many of these songs that appear in this video were popular across the world, some of them were exclusively popular in the land down under. The list I used for this video was created by Dave's Music Database, a blog dedicated to ranking and arranging music. For this particular song list, the songs were selected by the Australian (ARIA) charts’ actual year-end lists. For years prior to 1988, each song that was selected was the song that spent the most amount of time atop the ARIA. Songs that were in this video did not necessarily have to be from an Australian act. Rather, this video features the most popular songs in Australia, regardless of the nationality of the act. There is somewhat of a gray area with regard to what is considered a song. For instance, it is relatively common to see two songs by the same act top the charts simultaneously, kind of line an A side B side combo. Some may not consider the 1983 entry Australiana by Austen Tayshus a valid entry since it is a spoken-word comedy single. However, since it topped the ARIA for eight weeks in 1983, the single was included on this list. I hope you enjoy the video!
