Bright College Years - ' Neath the Elms - Eli Yale - Football Medley

Bright College Years (our alma mater!)

H.S. Durand, '81

Carl Wilhelm

Bright College years, with pleasure rife,

The shortest, gladdest years of life;

How swiftly are ye gliding by!

Oh, why doth time so quickly fly?

The seasons come, the seasons go,

The earth is green or white with snow,

But time and change shall naught avail

To break the friendships formed at Yale.

In after years, should troubles rise

To cloud the blue of sunny skies,

How bright will seem, through mem'ry's haze

Those happy, golden, bygone days!

Oh, let us strive that ever we

May let these words our watch-cry be,

Where'er upon life's sea we sail:

"For God, for Country and for Yale!"

'Neath the Elms

H. Baldwin, '71

Winds of night around us sighing,

In the elm trees murmur low,

In the elm trees murmur low,

Let no ruder sounds replying

Break our happy voices' flow,

Tra la la la!

'Tis a jolly life we lead,

Care and trouble we defy;

Let the short-lived hours speed,

Running smoothly, quickly by;

Till the darkness fades a-way,

And the morning light we hail,

We will sing with cheerful hearts

Songs of home, and of Yale, and of dear old Yale,

Tra la la la!

Stars of night in silence yearning,

Pure and soft as maiden's eyes,

Pure and soft as maiden's eyes,

Sweet the hour when your returning

Bids our merry songs arise,

Tra la la la!

'Tis a jolly life we lead,

Care and trouble we defy;

Let the short-lived hours speed,

Running smoothly, quickly by;

Till the darkness fades a-way,

And the morning light we hail,

We will sing with cheerful hearts

Songs of home, and of Yale, and of dear old Yale,

Tra la la la!

Listen! faintly chiming,

O'er the river placid preast,

Evening bells are ringing,

Calling us to rest,

Calling us to rest.

See the full moon, rising, weaves

Robes of light o'er tow'r and hall,

Through the slowly lifting leaves

Silver lances flash and fall.

Louder yet the chorus raise,

Friendship lasts when youth must fail;

Jolly jolly are the days

'Neath the elms,

'Neath the elms of dear old Yale,

Of dear old Yale,

Of dear old Yale.

In making love and winning hearts.

Is when we bid old Yale farewell.

Fol de rol de rol rol rol!

The Football Medley

With Crimson in triumph flashing

Mid the strains of victory

Poor Eli's hopes we are dashing

Into blue obscurity

Resistless our team sweeps onward

With the fury of the blast

We'll fight for the name of Harvard

'Till the last white line is past

And then we'll crash through that line of blue

And send the backs on round the end (around the end).

Fight! Fight for ev'ry yard

Princeton's honor to defend,

Rah! Rah! Rah! (or: Raw! Raw! Raw!)

Tiger sis boom bah (or: shish kebab)

And locomotives by the score (oh by the score),

For we'll fight with a vim that is dead sure to win For old Nassau

Oh Lord Jeffery Amherst was a soldier of the king,

And he came from across the sea.

To the Frenchmen and the Indians he didn't do a thing in the wilds of this wild country

In the wilds of this wild country.

And for his royal majesty he fought with all his might,

For he was a soldier loyal and true.

And he conquered all the enemies (or: animals) that came within his sight,

And he looked around for more when he was through.

Oh Amherst, brave Amherst, 'twas the name known to fame in days of yore

May it ever be glorious 'til the sun shall climb the heav'ns no more.

Oh!

More work for the undertaker,

'Nother little job for the casket maker

In the local cemetary they are

Very very busy with a brand new grave:

No hope for Harvard,

No hope for Harvard!

Boola boola, Boola boola,

Boola boola, Boola boola,

Boola boola, Boola boola,

Boola boola, Boola boola,

When we "rough house" poor old Harvard,

They will holler Boola boo.

Oh, Yale, Eli Yale,

Oh, Yale, Eli Yale,

Oh, Yale, Eli Yale,

Oh, Yale, Eli Yale!

Fight, fight for Yale

The sons of Eli are out for glory.

On to the fray,

We'll tell to Harvard the same old story,

The cry is on, on they come

We'll raise the slogan of Yale triumphant.

Smash, bang, we'll rip poor Harvard

Whoop it up for Yale today!

Bingo, Bingo, Bingo, Bingo, Bingo,

That's the lingo

Eli is bound to win

There's to be a victory, so watch the team begin!

Bingo, Bingo, Harvard's team cannot prevail

Fight! Fight! Fight with all your might

For Bingo Bingo Eli Yale

Good night, poor Harvard,

Harvard, good night.

Oh we've got your number

You're high as a kite.

Oh, Good night, poor Harvard,

You're tucked in tight

When the big blue team gets after you,

Harvard, Harvard, Good night.

March, march on down the field,

Fighting for Eli.

Break through that crimson line, their strength to defy.

We'll give a long cheer for Eli's men

We're here to win again.

Harvard's team may fight to the end but Yale will win.

Bulldog, Bulldog, bow wow wow,

Eli Yale,

Bulldog, Bulldog, bow wow wow,

Our team can never fail,

When the son's of Eli break through the line (bow wow wow)

That is the sign we hail!

Bulldog, Bulldog, bow wow wow,

Eli Yale, Eli Yale!
