My mom sang:

My girl's from Vassar
None can surpass her
She is the stroke ont he Varsity team.
And in my future life,
she's going to be my wife!
How in the heck did I find that out!
She told me so.

My gir's from Wheaton
She can't be beaten!
She's great out on a date.
She takes her liquor straight!
And in my future life etc.

(Mom went to Wheaton. That's Wheaton College for Women in Massachusetts, not the school in Indiana where Billy Graham went. Mom said the Wheaton boys visited her campus once and marched across the green staring straight ahead, rather than be corrupted by those Massachusetts radicals. Mom liked her whiskey with a little water.)
