Butter side down. Hang the heavens with black, Hide the stars in a crack, Let darkness come all over this town, Put crepe on your hat, Tie a piece on your bat, For the students are butter-side-down. All the long season through, We have been good and true, VVhether fortune wore a smile or a frown, We hung cn like death, To the very last breath, But now we are butter-side-down. Oh the students are wc, Says lVIyrtie with glee, And the credits we've done up with a frown, 'Twas not you, but the mechanics of school, That made the students obey the rule, And landed us butter-side-down. Yet all was in vain, . VVe've won that splain, This time in the soup we must drown, And as under we go, ' There is a wailing of woe, VVe poor students are butter-side-down.
