"THE BEEBEE SONG"

1
The Beebees had three husky sons:
Buster, Bill, and Bee;
And Buster was the best one
In the Beebee family.
He led his class in scholarship,
Was captain of football,
And when it came to track team
Why, he led them one and all.

2
He wandered down to old Tucson
And thought he'd join a frat.
He wandered all around the town
To see where they were at.
And just because he was the best
The town had ever seen, why
The colors that he wore next day
Were scarlet, white, and green.

3
He wandered up to heaven,
Just to see the fellows there.
And all the boys were loitering
Around the golden stair;
Some were smoking cigarettes
And some were dancing jigs,
But they all were loyal friends of his
They all were Kappa Sigs.

4
He looked up Brother Noah
And he interviewed St. Paul;
He met the wives of Solomon
And kissed them one and all.
And when they all lined up for
Drinks around the heavenly bar,
Why each angel on his shirt front
Wore the crescent and the star.

5
He wandered down to Hades
Just to see the poor lost souls;
The Alphas and the Betas
They were roasting on the coals.
The SAEs and Sigma Chis
To sizzle had begun,
But the Kappa Sigs on velvet seats,
Were watching all the fun.

6
The Phi Delta Thetas they were
Hanging by their ears,
And off their cheeks and down their
Chins ran briny drops of tears.
Our hero's heart within him yearned,
He said, "Well, I'll be durned;
We'll have to hang 'em up
And dry 'em out
They're too durn green to burn."

7
The Sigma Nus and Zeta Delts
Were tacked up on the shelf,
When in came old Beelzebub,
The king of hell himself;
He gave our friend the old time grip
For he could not renege,
'Cause he was a charter member
And a damn good Kappa Sig.
8
Oh, he rambled, he rambled
He rambled all around
In and out of town;
Oh, he rambled, he rambled
He rambled 'til they
Put the colors on. Bang! Bang!

This preserves a song shared in 1996 by someone trying to teach the old songs of yesteryear.
