Yeah, I had completely forgotten that one. Boy! Probably haven't heard it since 1950 or so.

The last time I thought of that song, I wondered, is it the same song, or the same tune, as:

My girl's from Vassar,
None can surpass her . . .

My girl's from Smith; She talkth like thith.
She taught me how to kiss, I love her tho,
And in my future life, she's going to be my wife.
How in the world do you know that? She told me so!

My girl's from MIT, she is a travesty!
Girls who go for engineering are not so hot appearing!
And in my future life, she's going to be my wife.
How in the world do you know that? She told me so!

That used to be in the college songbooks, but I've never heard it sung.
