Took A little Trip
(Collected from Bob Hatcher, Phi Kappa Psi,
University of Texas)

Took a little trip to Heaven
To see the folks up there,
And they were all seated
Around the heavenly chair.
And when they were all lined up
Around the heavenly bar,
Each angel on his shirt front wore
A gravy bowl and star

Ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya

Took a little trip to hades
To see the poor lost souls
The Phi Delts and the Phi Gams
Were squatting on the coals.
While the Phi Psi's were in velvet chairs
A watchin' all the fun.

Ya ya ya ya ya etc.

The Beta Theta Pi's were labeled duds
And placed upon the shelf.
When in walked ole Beelzebub,
The King of Hell himself.
He slipped the old-time friendly grip
And yelled aloud Hi Hi!
For he was charter member
And a damn good ol' Phi Psi.

Ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya
Repeat

Boom!
