"HONEY'S" RAMBLE SONG
The Song of the Convention Which all "Sigs" Should Know Tune--He Rambled
He rambled to a college town Thinking he'd make a frat, So he looked around and looked around To see where he was at; And just because he was the best The town had ever fed, The colors that he wore next day Were the purple and the red.
Chorus. He rambled, he rambled, He rambled all around, In and out of the town; He rambled, he rambled, He rambled till the butchers cut him down.
He rambled up to Washington, To see the fellows there, And there was Teddy Roosevelt In the presidential chair; In came Billy Taft Upon his face a frown, Said he, "Ted my boy, why don't you get up And let a 'Sigma Phi' sit down."
Chorus.
He rambled up to Heaven To see the fellows there, Some were loafing 'round Upon the golden stair; Some were smoking cigarettes, Some were dancing jigs, But they were all good friends of his For they were good old "Sigs."
Chorus.
He had a talk with Moses, He interviewed St. Paul, Met the wives of Solomon And kissed them one and all' And when for drinks they gathered Around the Heavenly mart, Each angel on his shirt front wore The dear old golden heart.
Chorus.
He rambled down to Hades To see the poor lost souls, The PKA's and Kappa Sigs, Were roasting on the coals; The Theta Gamma Delta's and KA's To sizzle had just begun The 'Sigma Phi's" on velvet seats, Were watching all the fun.
Chorus.
The darn Phi Kap's were labeled bums And laid upon the shelf When in came old Beelzebub The King of all himself; He gave our friends the old time grip For he could not defy He was a charter member And a Darn good "Sigma Phi."
--By "Honey."
