Collegiana Songtext
von Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

On the campus they try to vamp us
With anything new, or anything blue
My diploma is now in coma
My studying too – it′s pretty near through
I found a new Collegiate hop
I dance till I drop and I'll never stop
If you want to see what is getting me
I′ll tell you how to do

Collegiana, see how it's done
It's easy as pi and lots of fun
You never have to study
This muddy water hop
Miss Polyanna never was glad
Until she grabbed an undergrad
And this Collegiana, it never was a flop


Honor students and every pedagogue
All go to bed eight o′clock at night
Two step, new step
You′ll get along with me
You'll get a new degree dancing
You′re going to burn up
Turn up your heel
Carry your books, you'll begin to feel
You know the new
Hosanna Collegiana Reel

Collegiana started at Yale
Spread out to Princeton
Blazed a trail
It murdered them at Harvard
And there, the whole Penn State
Army, Navy, and Notre Dame
Started to dance and spread the fame
Of this Collegiana
′Cause it was something great

Cornell, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania
All got the mania – and how
How's that refined, behind step to it
There′s lots of steps to it, hear me
