| I know it's very bad form to quote one's own reviews, but i would like to mention something that the new york times said about me a year ago which i've always treasured -- they said:"mr. l | |
| 's muse is not fettered by such inhibiting factors as taste". | |
| Now we come to that peculiar bit of americana known as the football fight song. i was reminded not too long ago, upon returning from my lesson with the scrabble pro at the harvard club in boston | |
| The days of my undergraduacy long ago when there used to be these very long saturday afternoons in the fall with nothing to do -- the library was closed -- just waiting around for the cocktail p | |
| S to begin. and on occasions like that, some of us used to wander over to the... i believe it was called the stadium, to see if anything might be going on over there. and one did come to realize | |
| The football fight songs that one hears in comparable stadia have a tendency to be somewhat uncouth, and even violent, and that it would be refreshing, to say the least, to find one that was a | |
| Ore genteel. and here it is, dedicated to my own alma mater, and called fight fiercely, harvard. | |
| Fight fiercely, harvard, | |
| Fight, fight, fight! | |
| Demonstrate to them our skill. | |
| Albeit they possess the might, | |
| Nonetheless we have the will. | |
| How we shall celebrate our victory, | |
| We shall invite the whole team up for tea | |
| (how jolly!) | |
| Hurl that spheroid down the field, and | |
| Fight, fight, fight! | |
| Fight fiercely, harvard, | |
| Fight, fight, fight! | |
| Impress them with our prowess, do! | |
| Oh, fellows, do not let the crimson down, | |
| Be of stout heart and thru. | |
| Come on, chaps, fight for harvard's glorious name, | |
| Won't it be peachy if we win the game? | |
| (oh, goody!) | |
| Let's try not to injure them, but | |
| Fight, fight, fight! | |
| And do fight fiercely! | |
| Fight, fight, fight! |
