The Crow Song
Words: Ralph P. Smith, Denison 1888
Tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again
Three hungry Greeks went forth one day,
Vive la Theta Pi!
Three hungry Greeks went forth one day,
Vive la Theta Pi!
Three hungry Greeks went forth one day
To where old Wooglin holds his sway
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Phi-Kai-Phi! Vive la Theta Pi!
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Vive la Theta Pi!
Said one grim Greek unto his mates,
Vive la Theta Pi!
Said one grim Greek unto his mates,
Vive la Theta Pi!
Said one grim Greek unto his mates,
'Tis here there live two potentates,
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Phi-Kai-Phi! Vive la Theta Pi!
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Vive la Theta Pi!
They call them Wooglin and his dog,
Vive la Theta Pi!
They call them Wooglin and his dog,
Vive la Theta Pi!
They call them Wooglin and his dog,
The canine's fat as any hog,
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Phi-Kai-Phi! Vive la Theta Pi!
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Vive la Theta Pi!
If Wooglin comes forth with his beast,
Vive la Theta Pi!
If Wooglin comes forth with his beast,
Vive la Theta Pi!
If Wooglin comes forth with his beast,
We'll kill the pup and have a feast,
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Phi-Kai-Phi! Vive la Theta Pi!
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Vive la Theta Pi!
Then here's to Beta Theta Pi,
Vive la Theta Pi!
Then here's to Beta Theta Pi,
Vive la Theta Pi!
Then here's to Beta Theta Pi,
Fill up your lungs and give the cry!
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Phi-Kai-Phi! Vive la Theta Pi!
And they all filled their lungs and cried:
Vive la Theta Pi!
