Bright College Days 1953 Tom Lehrer

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 08 Nov 2002

Bright college days,
oh, carefree days that fly,
to thee we sing with our glasses raised
on high [hold up eye-glasses]
Let's drink a toast
as each of us recalls
ivy covered professors
in ivycovered halls.

Turn on the spigot,
pour the beer and swig it,
and gaudeamus igitur.

Soon we'll be out
amid the cold world's strife,
soon we'll be sliding down
the razor blade of life.
But as we go our sordid sep'rate ways,
We shall ne'er forget thee,
thou golden college days.

Hearts full of youth,
hearts full of truth,
six parts gin to one part vermouth!
