Harry Truman, Doris Day, .
Red China, Johnny Ray,
South Pacific, Walter Winchell,
Joe Dimaggio.
Joe McArthur, Richard Nixon,
Studebaker, Television,
North Korea, South Korea,
Marilyn Monroe.
Vince Young, Silver Spur,
Ricky Williams, Little Earl,
Albino Squirrel brings us Luck,
A&M and OU SUCK!
Watch a movie at Dobie,
Study at the FAC,
House of Guys, Lots of Beer,
Top Ten Percent is why We’re here!
We didn’t go to Harvard,
No, it’s not our Style, ‘cause we don’t wear Argyle.
We didn’t go to Harvard,
They rejected Us all, but they suck at Football!
Nobody from out of State,
Trays only allow One Plate,
Sixth Street, and Fake ID,
Don’t look too close of course that’s ME!
Dr. Stoff and Cookie Jar,
No Place on Campus for your Car,
Light the Tower at Midnight,
Football Games, Texas FIGHT!
Mack Brown, Tommy Lee,
Naked Matt McConaughey,
Hang out in the Honors Quad,
Kerbey Lane is our G-d.
Wear Orange almost Every Day,
Only Study on the Way (to class..),
Bowl at Union Underground,
Plan II is all Grad-School Bound.
We didn’t go to Harvard,
No, we don’t like Crimson, plus we didn’t get IN.
We didn’t go to Harvard,
But upon reflection, it’s ‘cause we have no Connections.
World Lit., Philosophy,
Big XII, Six Pack, Gregory,
Tiff’s Treats is our Love and Joy,
We believe in Colt McCoy!
Celebrate Eeyore’s Birthday,
Go to Freshman Getaway,
Plan II Physics makes us Gag,
Spend Most of our Money on the Drag.
Hook ‘Em Horns until we Die,
We bleed Orange, Don’t ask why,
The Memory is still alive
Of 45 to 35!
Read a book about Voltaire,
Wear your Flip-Flops everywhere,
Watch a Broccoli Project Play,
Honor’s Quad Pajama Rave!
We didn’t go to Harvard,
We all hate Boston, so we’re here in Austin.
We didn’t go to Harvard,
We don’t “twalk” like this, we say “y’all” and “Ms.”!
Forty Acres, Bevo,
Midnight Rope a Ho,
Big Bertha, “Q Drop,”
Frat Parties never stop.
Gavin DeGraw comes to Town,
Hail Mary, Touchdown,
Co-op, Leslie, Bats, Rec,
Zombies on the Sundeck!
Texas Sweethearts, Undecided,
Read about a House Divided,
Vie for Mr. Plan II,
THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE ON YOU!
We didn’t go to Harvard,
We’re Wayyyy too nice, Plus UT’s Half the Price!
So We go to Plan II,
We get Education, not just Grade Inflation!
Here We are at Plan II,
We can’t explain our Major, but we really don’t care!
So we go to Plan II,
And when we are gone,
It will still go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
, and on, and on!
