THE CLASSIC A voice of thunder ound of a whirlwind Xenia Avenue upside down Ye hades of Fitzpatrick What a terrible blundPr. The new Prof's struck the town. A saint was sought A sinner came. A man with a smile And ungodly name. Alack, be could dance and sing and play (?l Not for forty years Had it been this way. But what is the name of this man so handsome The awful creature who knows how to dance some Who makP folks prance "ome And givPS no RANSOi\I Can go through a transom And is so tntrancin' (?)
