THE JUNIORS When you need a real good friend That will aid and comprehend Find a Junior. Wh n your lessons all go wrong. And your longing for a song Hail a Junior. Some are dark; some are fair, Some have straight, some curly hair— Just a Junior. Nothing ever misses us, If something did we’d make a fuss, Like a Junior.
