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 
 [bad word] 
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!"
