The Varsity Drag (from "Good News") [2006 Remaster]

That's the way to do the 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 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

Here is the drag, see how it goes

Down on your heels, up on your 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

Everybody down on the heels, up on the toes

Stay after school, learn how it goes

Everybody do the varsity drag

Here is the drag (Here is the drag)

See how it goes (See how it goes)

Down on your heels (Down on your heels)

Up on your toes (Up on your toes)

That's the way to do the varsity drag

Hotter than hot (Hotter than hot)

Newer than new (Newer than new)

Meaner than mean (Meaner than mean)

Bluer than blue (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

Down on your heels, up on your toes

Stay after school, learn how it goes

Every, everybody

Step right up and do the varsity drag

The boy, garçon

Yes, girl, la vie

That's good, c'est bon

The show, fini

The moral to this tale is learn to parlez-vous

Send her a billet-doux

Tell her her eyes are blue

They sure are blue
