in a quaint old jersey town - rutgers university lyrics

[verse 1]
in a quaint old jersey town,
that i’ve learned to call my own,
stands a college that has long been known to fame;
where the hardy ivy clings to the walls of ancient stone,
ever changing yet eternally the same.

[chorus]
alma mater, alma mater,
plucky college by the gentle raritan.
you’re the apple of my eye,
brightest star in all the sky,
rutgers college by the gentle raritan.

[verse 2]
when the freshmen young and green,
with his self*important mien,
comes to add more knowledge to his little store;
but in just about a week he is feeling very meek,
for he’s interviewed the warlike soph0m*re.

[chorus]
alma mater, alma mater,
plucky college by the gentle raritan.
you’re the apple of my eye,
brightest star in all the sky,
rutgers college by the gentle raritan.
[verse 3]
when the junior year comes round,
there are some who can’t be found,
who enlisted with the freshmen at the start;
for they thought it wrong to toil, and their logic was not sound,
so the faculty and they were forced to part.

[chorus]
alma mater, alma mater,
plucky college by the gentle raritan.
you’re the apple of my eye,
brightest star in all the sky,
rutgers college by the gentle raritan.

[verse 4]
but when in the senior year,
oh, how wise they do appear,
who have clung to plucky rutgers all the way;
who in latin and in greek, and in football have no fear,
for in both, they’ve scored their points on many a day.
