Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Mildred Maud and Mabel (Yale Song)
Subject: Mildred Maude and Mabel (Yale Song)
I'm trying to recall a song I learned at Yale. The part I remember goes roughly thusly:

Mildred, Maude and Mabel
Were sitting at a table
Down at the Taft Hotel

Working on a plan to
Catch themselves a man to
Satisfy their minds a spell.

For twenty years and then some
They'd been showin' men some
Tricks that made their motors fail,

But though they'd all had squeezes
From lots of PhD'ses
They're saving themselves for Yale.

Hail, hail, hail to the boys down at Yale... etc.

Who wrote it, when, etc. as well as the rest of the lyrics.
Now, don't ask me why I'm trying to remember such a piece of tripe. I'm not sure I could come up with an excuse. But I know it was triggered by running into the Whiffenpoof Song in the Digitrad.
