THE CRIME

Back Bay

No you won't 'eed nothin else

But them costly perfume smells

And the champagne and the cocktails

And the tinkly Back Bay belles

On the road to old Back Bay

I am sick of wastin' evenings with the girls who count success

By the number of their cut-ins and their clippings from the press,

Though I've been to fifty deb balls where the morning glories grow,

The one reward I captured was a solid term of pro

O a solid term of pro,

And I want to let you know,

That if there come more parties, I will let the Freshmen go.

Let them go to old Back Bay

Let me stay back here at Harvard, while the Freshmen get the lure

Of a sex-appeal gone crazy, that it takes a year to cure.
