COLLEGE BELL.
Air -- "Dutch Company"

Ven I vakes in de morning, I hear de pig pell,
Den I tinks I can shnooze a very little spell.

Chorus-- For de student company be a shleepy company,
And dey are so shleepy as neber vas he.

Den I reach out a ped and sthrike a little light,
And go to shleep again, mit von eye open tight.

I hear de second pell as he sthrike de first ten,
De toder eye come open, and I go to shleep again.

I hear de first alarm and I tinks I mus rishe,
I lean upon my elpos and den I rubs mine eyes.

For de college pell pe a pery pig pore,
And I vish de man vat rings him vouldn't ring him any more.

De next alarm pegins and I shump out de floor,
I stands dere for a minit and den pegins to shnore.

Mine eyes be so shleepy dat I cannot hardly see,
So I puts mine veskit vere mine pants ought to be.

Den I goes up to de shapel for to hear de Prex pray,
But I pe so very shleepy, I don't know vat he say.

I goes to set down, but I shumps up on my feet,
For I gets much vounded mit a pin in my seat.

Den de Prex reads de verses and de choir begin to sing,
I try to go to shleep again but can do no shuch ting.

For de choir ven dey sings dey make such a noise
I tinks dey must pe tomcats mit tails pulled py de poys.

Den I goes to mine grum but cannot keep awake,
And I goes to shleep again mit a mouf full of steak.

So all through te day I shnooze ven I can,
And bimeby I tinks I make vide avake man.

Apparently this song and tune was well know enough that it was used for a parody.
