Fraternity blues

I decided to improve my social station

I joined a fraternity organisation

tucked in my shirt

signed on the line

right away they said about to improve my mind

the car I drove

the books I read

the food I ate

the booze I drank

the girls I took out

my breath

Said "Kid, we don't much like the way you walk

and you gonna have to change the way you talk"

They said "your dress is kind of sludge

and your attitude is mighty grudge"

Said "you got to learn to bubble"

"You got to bubble with enthusiasm" I started bubble

"Most important thing you can't forget

is learning the entire Greek alphabet"

I never did really understand

that that's gonna make me anymore a man

but I learned it

I can whip through that Son-of-a-beta backwards in five seconds

Then they hit me with some pretty bad news

concerning the payment of monthly dues

I never did know where that money went

I never was sure it was well spent

but I paid it

I'm no troublecauser and besides I figured that's life

if you want good friends it gonna cost you

Well, finally got to be party time

I got a great big old jug of wine

I went back to the house in about an hour

[when the boy's were] drinking whiskey sours

Brandy Alexanders

frozen [daquires]

reciting the Greek alphabet to one another

I could see I was gonna have to do my very best

to get myself out of that fraternity mess

I stood right there outside the door

and I chugged that wine like never before

walked inside and bubbled

all over a couple of their dates

So now everything's back to normal again

but there is still lots of room for improvement my friend

'cause that fraternity stuff is too much for me

next time I'm gonna join a sorority

really get me something to bubble about
