Lyrics Bright College Days (Live in Concert) - Tom Lehrer
Thank
you!
For
my
first
encore
I'd
like
to
turn
to
a
type
of
Song...
to
a
type
of
song
that
people
like
myself
find
ourselves
subjected
To
with
increasing
frequency
as
time
goes
on,
and
that
is
The
college
"alma
mater".
You'll
find
yourself
at
a
reunion
Of
grads,
and
old
undergrads,
and
eh...
somebody
will
start
Croaking
out
one
of
these
things
and
everyone
will
gradually
Join
in.
Each
in
his
own
key,
of
course,
until
the
place
is
Just
soggy
with
nostalgia.
Well,
a
typical
such
song
might
be
called
"Bright
College
Days",
And
might
go
like
this:
Bright
college
days,
oh,
carefree
days
that
fly
To
thee
we
sing
with
our
glasses
raised
on
high
(holds
up
eyeglasses)
Let's
drink
a
toast
as
each
of
us
recalls
Ivy-covered
professors
in
ivy-covered
halls
Turn
on
the
spigot
Pour
the
beer
and
swig
it
And
gaudeamus
igit-ur
Here's
to
parties
we
tossed
To
the
games
that
we
lost
To
the
girls
young
and
sweet
To
the
spacious
back
seat
Of
our
roommate's
beat
up
Chevrolet
To
the
beer
and
benzedrine
To
the
way
that
the
dean
Tried
so
hard
to
be
pals
with
us
all
To
excuses
we
fibbed
To
the
papers
we
cribbed
From
the
genius
who
lived
down
the
hall
To
the
tables
down
at
Morey's
Let
us
drink
a
toast
to
all
we
love
the
best
We
will
sleep
through
all
the
lectures
And
cheat
on
the
exams
And
we'll
pass,
and
be
forgotten
with
the
rest
Oh,
soon
we'll
be
out
amid
the
cold
world's
strife
Soon
we'll
be
sliding
down
the
razor
blade
of
life
(Spoken)
Ready?
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
