I agree, Joe.

The song appears in an 1898 songbook from Princeton. It's probably a medley, as described one post above, of little-known songs of the time, and I like to think that it was sung in a show by handsome Princeton boys.

For people unfamiliar with early music, the name Carmina Princetonia is an evocation of 'Carmina Burana', a medieval songbook.
