A Retrospect

Lyrics:

(Air: "Mary had a little lamb")

Freshman had a little cane, A little cane, a little cane; And when the air was nice and cool, He swung it out one day. It gave the Juniors grief and pain, Grief and pain, grief and pain, To see him break the College rule, So they took his cane away.
