Lyrics:

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

Motto complete
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!'
