(Being a stenographic report of how it sounds from / the piazza when a dozen boat loads go out on the lake / of a summer evening.)
How can I bear to good old Yale the shades of Upidee / That's where my heart is weep no more in sunny Tennessee / How dear to heart grows weary far from meadow grass is blue / Above Cayuga's waters we will sing I'm strong for you.
A Spanish cava fare thee well and everything so fine / That's where you get your old black Joe my darling Clementine / The old folks would enjoy it on the road to Mandalay / 'Twas from Aunt Dinah's polly-wolly-woodle all the day.
I hear those good night ladies much obliged because we're here / Afraid to go home in the with a good song ringing clear / Just tell them that fair Harvard old Nassau is shining bright / How can I bear to grand old rag we roll along good night!
