《Bright College Days》歌词

[00:00:00] Bright College Days - Tom Lehrer

[00:00:00] Thank you

[00:00:01] For my first encore

[00:00:02] I'd like to turn to a type of Song

[00:00:05] To a type of song that people

[00:00:06] Like myself find ourselves subjected

[00:00:08] To with increasing frequency as time goes on

[00:00:11] And that is the college alma mater

[00:00:13] You'll find yourself at a reunion

[00:00:15] Of grads and old undergrads

[00:00:20] And eh somebody will start

[00:00:24] Croaking out one of these things and

[00:00:26] Everyone will gradually join in

[00:00:28] Each in his own key of course until the place is

[00:00:32] Just soggy with nostalgia

[00:00:35] Well a typical such song might be called

[00:00:37] Bright College Days

[00:00:39] And might go like this

[00:00:51] Bright college days oh carefree days that fly

[00:00:55] To the we sing with our glasses

[00:00:57] Raised on high

[00:01:04] Let's drink a toast as each of us recalls

[00:01:08] Ivy-covered professors in ivy-covered halls

[00:01:16] Turn on the spigot

[00:01:18] Pour the beer and swig it

[00:01:19] And gaudeamus igit-ur

[00:01:25] Here's to parties we tossed

[00:01:27] To the games that we lost

[00:01:29] We shall claim that we won them some day

[00:01:32] To the girls young and sweet

[00:01:34] To the spacious back seat

[00:01:36] Of our roommate's beat up Chevrolet

[00:01:39] To the beer and benzedrine

[00:01:41] To the way that the dean

[00:01:43] Tried so hard to be pals with us all

[00:01:46] To excuses we fibbed

[00:01:48] To the papers we cribbed

[00:01:49] From the genius who lived down the hall

[00:01:52] To the tables down at Morey's

[00:01:56] Wherever that may be

[00:01:59] Let us drink a toast to all we love the best

[00:02:03] We will sleep through all the lectures

[00:02:06] And cheat on the exams

[00:02:09] And we'll pass and be forgotten with the rest

[00:02:14] Oh soon we'll be out amid the cold world's strife

[00:02:22] Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life

[00:02:38] Ready

[00:02:42] But as we go our sordid sep'rate ways

[00:02:46] We shall ne'er forget the thou golden college days

[00:02:52] Hearts full of youth

[00:02:53] Hearts full of truth

[00:02:54] Six parts gin to one part vermouth
