Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Mildred Maud and Mabel (Yale Song)
Subject: Lyr Add: DOWN AT YALE (trad, US Marines, 1943)
Copied from an untitled mimeographed Marine songbook, 1943:

DOWN AT YALE
(Tune: "The Battle Hymn of the Republic")

Maw, I want to be a Yale man!
Maw, I want to be a Yale man!
Maw, I want to be a Yale man!
My son, you're a god-damned fool,
For there isn't any tail down at Yale (down at Yale);
Oh, there isn't any tail down at Yale (down at Yale);
So instead of copulation they resort to masturbation--
There's a hell of a situation down at Yale!
