Thread Name: Lyr Add: I Took A Little Trip to Heaven
Subject: I Took A Little Trip to Heaven (Fraternity Song)
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!
