Down The Old Ox Road

Bing Crosby · Triple Treasures [2008]

There's a famous thoroughfare, I've heard collegiates say



I'm not referring to Piccadilly



It's not 42nd Street, it's not the Rue De La Paix



Nor is it Market Street in Philly



Ask most any college romeo



To complete your education you must go



Down the Old Ox road



Though you'll never find out where it is



By looking in maps



With a little investigation you'll discover perhaps



That this old tradition's not a place



But just a proposition called



The Old Ox Road



The Old Ox Road



Ox Road could be any romantic spot



A country highway or a moonlit yacht



It could be in the parlor when the lights are burning low



It could be in the movie in the very last row



Down the Old Ox Road



In the magic of the moonlight you are filled with delight



While the leaves that flutter o'er you



Whisper lover tonight



Why keep waiting and debating



When you know it's time for mating



On the Old Ox Road



On the Old Ox Road
