Varsity Drag

We've always thought

Knowledge is naught,

We should be taught to dance,

Right here at Tate



We're up to date,

We teach a great new dance,

Don't think that I brag,

I speak of the drag.



Why should a sheikh

Learn how to speak

Latin and Greek badly?

Give him a neat



Motto complete

Say it with feet gladly!

First lesson right now,

You'll love it and how you'll love it:



Here is the drag, see how it goes,

Down on the heels, up on the toes,

That's the way to do the Varsity Drag,

Do-dee-odle-oh-do!



Hotter than hot, newer than new,

Meaner than mean, bluer than blue,

Gets as much applause as waving the flag!

You can pass many a class,



Whether you're dumb or wise,

If you'll all answer the call

When your professor cries:

"Everybody down on the heels, up on the toes,



Stay after school and learn how it goes,

Everybody do the varsity drag!"
