'Twas a cold winter's evening
The boys were all leaving,
And Reilly was closing the bar.

And he turned and he said,
To the lady in red,
"Miss, get out. You can't stay where you are!"

She shed a sad tear
In her bucket of beer
As she thought of the cold night ahead

When a gentleman dapper
Stepped out from the crapper
And these were the words that he said:

"Her mother never told her
All the things that a young girl should know
About the ways of college men,
And how they come and go.
Her mother never told her,
And life has left a sad scar.
Remember your mothers,
And your sisters, boys!
And let her sleep under the bar!"

...See? They don't ALL have unhappy endings.
