Many of the greatest hits are missing in the DT. Of course those of the 1930s were the greatest! This is unconshunabble er- unconscionable.

BETTY CO-ED
Lyrics J. Paul Fogarty, music Rudy Vallee, 1930

Flirtation is an art with Betty Co-ed,
Her station quite depends upon her charms,
She gets the men in rushes by well-cultivated blushes
And she's happy with a fellow on each arm!

Betty Co-ed has lips of red for Harvard,
Betty Co-ed has eyes of Yale's deep blue,
Betty Co-ed's a golden head for Princeton,
Her dress I guess is black for old Purdue!

Betty Co-ed's a smile for Pennsylvania,
Her heart is Dartmouth's treasure so 'tis said,
Betty Co-ed is loved by every college boy,
But I'm the one who's loved by Betty Co-ed!

She made a wreck of Carnegie Tech and all its engineers;
She did the same at old Notre Dame, her line is good for years;
Roguish eyes, telling lies, breathing sighs!

Betty Co-ed has lips of red for Cornell,
Betty Co-ed has eyes of Navy blue,
Betty Co-ed the golden-haired for Amherst,
Her dress is white for Georgia, too!

Betty Co-ed's a smile for old Northwestern,
Her heart is Texas treasure, so 'tis said,
Betty Co-ed is loved by every college boy,
But I'm the one who's loved by Betty Co-ed!

Other schools commonly were inserted by the singer.

Sigh- Oh, for the good old days, when girls went to college to catch a man rather than get an education!                      ouch

Betty Coed

When I was a kid - in the Age of Ike - Paul Fogerty had a morning exercise show on WGN tv. He was one cool dude! He and Jack LaLanne are really my idols now. Rudy was great too -- especially in Some Like It Hot and that Sturges movie, The Palm Beach Story!!

I have to admit that I never thought I'd see "Betty Co-ed" posted on the Mudcat!! Maybe "Java Jive", but not "Betty Co-ed"--It is a welcome addition, though, a lot of the songs that get posted are just too depressing--keep em coming!

You don't know how happy I made my 80 year old aunt who has been looking for the lyrics to Betty Co-ed for years. Now instead of humming the tune she can actually sing it. Thank you.
