The Whiffenpoof Song
To the tables
down at Morey's
To the place
where Louis dwells
To the dear
old temple bar we love so well . . .
Sing the Whiffenpoofs
assembled
With their glasses raised
on high,
And the magic of their
singing cast it's spell .
. .
Yes, the magic of their
singing,
Of the songs we love so
well,
Shall l wasting and
Mavourneen and the rest,
We will serenade our Louis!
( We will
serenade our Louis! )
While life and voice shall
last!
Then we'll pass and be
forgotten like the rest .
. .
We're poor little
lambs
Who have lost our way
Baa Baa Baa!
We're little black sheep
Who have gone astray
Baa Baa Baa!
Gentlemen songsters off on
a spree
( Doomed . . .
)
Doomed from here to
eternity
( Lord . . . )
Lord, have mercy on
such as we
Baa Baa Baa!
