Popular Songs Washingtonized If I love again It will be a Sophomore That doesn't seem to know no more Than I Than me. I'm fed up with Seniors, Of haughty demeanors. Just give me a Sophy And keep your old lofty. Let's fall in love! It is so convenient When teachers are lenient To do our home work Together. And if we go steady, My lessons'll be ready- No doubt I'll grow heady! You must realize If you're taking Chemistry You'll no doubt use blasphemy. You'll make Hydrogen Sulphide Until you're all pufned ' And smoke gets in your eyes. Take me where the daisies Cover the country lanes Where no soot covers The window panes And only a vague memory remains Of school. You came, I was alone Unprotected, caught unaware Murmuring a prayer I wrote down an answer Thought I would chance her It's not so mystic That I missed it Nor that I iiunked the test.
