Subject: RE: Lyr Add: MIMI THE COLLEGE WIDOW
There are 14 books containing the phrase "Mimi, the college widow" on Archive.org (click). Of particular interest is a long version of the text from the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing (undated, est. 1960s) which appears to combine school songs from Cornell, Georgia Tech, Cornell, and Wisconsin.
