Ruth's Remarkable Parodies

More Ruth's Remarkable Parodies

Greetings, Cooleagues and Happy New Year!

A new semester is upon us, and you know what that means... one more round of musical and cultural travesties -- all designed to provoke you into being your usual generous selves where the the English Department scholarships are concerned! New folks, here's the info!

Now, to help you to get in the mood:

1. Find some unusual cooleagues to accompany you
2. Designate a pet which you will keep in a basket
3. Divide your hair into pigtails
4. Look wholesome and wistful
5. Forego your usual support hose and sensible shoes, replacing said footwear with something that sparkles

Then, after one final twirl in your gingham frock and snowy pinafore, raise your eyes skyward, click your heels together three times and go for it!
I'll see you at the end of the lyrics...

Someday wearing our t-shirts
In 0 5,
There'll be a buck to made from
faculty passing by.

Someday wearing our t-shirts
We'll look cool,
And our proud Purple Gang
will overcome all ridicule.

Someday I'll gaze upon a text,
And realize I'm not perplexed—
Remind me!
Where students only write no wrongs
Where quality's no part of songs
That's where you’ll find me.

Someday wearing our t-shirts
We'll shout “Whoopee!”
T shirts are such tasteful garments --
Why then, oh, why shouldn't we?

If Cardinals fans now sport their tees
for all the world to look and see,
Why, then, oh why shouldn't we?

So there you are, my pretties! A check for $10 to Dawn, please, if you can afford it in these hard times, and tell her if you want $5.00 of that to go especially to Pat Haas's fund. As you know, he has a new grandson, and I'll bet he's rather pleased!

Farewell from behind the curtain!!!!!!
