Subject: RE: Lyr Add: MIMI THE COLLEGE WIDOW
MIMI, THE COLLEGE WIDOW

Mimi the college widow, Queen of the University,
Mimi the college widow, taught all the boy anatomy, wow, wow-
Mimi the college widow, to know her is to love her, that is sure.
She really is a honey, but she will cost you money,
That's Mimi the college lure.

High above Cayuga's waters, there's a place known as Cornell,
Mimi met a football hero, shot the team to hell.
She met a rambling wreck from Georgia Tech, and a helluva engineer.
Something of an architect, he left his footprint here, where? Here, Where?
At Wisconsin, at Wisconsin, Mimi met an all-American.
Flashed her signal, showed her colors, Landed on her end U Rah Rah.
Now Mimi got a letter and was proud as she could be.
When asked if she was on the team, "Hell, no, the whole damn team's on me!"

Mimi the college widow, queen of the University.
Mimi the college widow, taught all the boys anatomy, wow, wow,
Mimi the college widow, to know her is to love her, that is sure.
That's Mimi the college lure.
