Subject: RE: Help: American patriotic songs
I may be getting in over my head, but here's my working definition. If everybody knows it, it's folk. If everybody likes it, it's good. Here is a song every American knows.

To the tune of "Notre Dame"

Hail, hail to (name of your school) High, Bring on the whiskey, bring on the rye. Send the freshmen out for gin, Don't let a sober soph'more in.

We never stagger, we never fall, We sober up on pure alcohol, While out loyal faculty Lies drunk on the bar room floor, rah rah rah!
