in Yahoo Sports about school songs- it may be of interest to some of you.
Amid all the century-old silliness, there was one popular song that was co-opted back in the day by several different schools to insult their rivals. It was morbid and mean and pretty funny. It went like this:
“Don’t send my boy to Harvard, –
The dying mother said,
“Don’t send my boy to Michigan,
I’d rather see him dead.”" type="text">“Don’t send my boy to Harvard, –
The dying mother said,
“Don’t send my boy to Michigan,
I’d rather see him dead.”
“But send my boy to old IU,
Far better than Cornell,
But if you send him to Purdue.
I’LL SEE MY BOY IN HELL!!" type="text">“But send my boy to old IU,
Far better than Cornell,
But if you send him to Purdue.
I’LL SEE MY BOY IN HELL!!
