Subject: Lyr: Add: Brr! It's cold in here {step chant}
BRR! IT'S COLD IN HERE
Brr! it's cold in here.
There must be some Alphas
in the atmosphere.
[I said-ah]
Brrr! it's cold in here.
There must be some Alphas
in the atmosphere.
-heard at various step shows
Editor: "Brrr" is meant to approximate the sound a person makes when he or she is freezing cold. "Alphas" refer to members of Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc, a Black Greek letter fraternity.
"Ice Ice" is an Alpha signature chant that also references this "cold" theme:
Ice Ice, Baby
Ice ice baby,
too cold too cold.
Ice ice baby,
The black and gold
-various sources,
-snip-
The "black and gold" refers to that fraternity's colors.
