I've got the sheet music around here somewhere. Let me know if you can't find the lyrics.

thanks Patty! Dick corrected my spelling of 'whiffenpoof' (which made the searhc engine much happier) and also demonstrated the power of the DT search engine using phrases from the lyrics, and i now have all the lyrics...

with all the help i've recently received from this group, and especially considering how expert you all are, i'm going to have a hard time returning the favors, but i'll try! many thanks!!

I couldn't tell from the threads whether you got the lyrics, so here are the ones I have in an old "songbook" put together by fighter jocks and others in Southeast Asia years ago ... hope it helps. --Arlen--

To the tables down at Mory's
To the place where Louis dwells
To the dear old Temple Bar we love so well,
Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled
Wih their glasses raised on high
And the magic of their singing
Of the songs we love so well.

"Shall I wasting" and "Mavourneen"
and the rest,
We will serenade our Louis,
While life and voice shall last,
Then we'll pass and be forgotten with the rest.

We're poor little lambs who have
lost our way - baa, baa, baa!
Gentlemen songsters off on a spree
Damned from there to eternity,
God have mercy on such as we,
Baa, baa, baa!
