Classic Poem

  VERSE

We've always thought
Knowledge is naught;
We should be taught
To dance.
Right here at Tait,
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 Sheik
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!

  REFRAIN

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.
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 all
Answer the call,
When your professor cries:
“Ev'rybody,
Down on the heels,
Up on the toes,
Stay after school,
Learn how it goes;
Ev'rybody
Do the Varsity Drag.”
