Lyrics for Varsity Drag
We've always thought Knowledge is naught, We should be taught to dance, Right here at Tate We're up to date, We teach a great new dance, Don't think that I brag, I speak of the drag. Why should a sheikh Learn how to speak Latin and Greek badly? Give him a neat Motto complete Say it with feet gladly! First lesson right now, You'll love it and how you'll love it: Here is the drag, see how it goes, Down on the heels, up on the toes, That's the way to do the Varsity Drag, Do-dee-odle-oh-do! Hotter than hot, newer than new, Meaner than mean, bluer than blue, Gets as much applause as waving the flag! You can pass many a class, Whether you're dumb or wise, If you'll all answer the call When your professor cries: "Everybody down on the heels, up on the toes, Stay after school and learn how it goes, Everybody do the varsity drag!"
