Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

There’s a girl, what a girl
She’s a coed queen
And she is keen, that’s what I mean
Every boy, college boy
Flunks in history
It’s plain to see she teaches kisstory

Chorus
You’ll find Sophie at the football game
She wrecks more teams, it seems, than Notre Dame
She’s a classic in her “coon-skin” and her blue beret
She even makes professors throw their books away
She roots for Harvard, Yale, and N. Y. U.
She loves the old Red White and Blue
When you hear rah! rah! rah!
Sis! Boom! Bah! anywhere you are
You’ll see Soph’more Sophie and me

Chorus
You’ll find Sophie at the football game
She wrecks more teams, it seems, than Notre Dame
She’s not scared when not prepared in her biology
‘Cause it’s the prof’ who offers an apology
She roots for Princeton, Penn, and old Purdue
She loves the old Red White and Blue
When you hear rah! rah! rah!
Sis! Boom! Bah! anywhere you are
You’ll see Soph’more Sophie and me
