Colgate 1964
Colgate at Princeton
October 17th, 1964
Princeton wins 9-0
Ladies and gentlemen, this afternoon the Princeton University Marching Band takes you on a survey of the American political scene. We stop in New York City where we find Bobby Kennedy clutching an autographed road map, campaigning on the shirt tails of Robert Wagner. Forming a carpet bag on the field, the Band overhears Bobby whisper to the mayor:
“Stranger in Paradise”
Off on a tributary of the mainstream of American politics we come upon Goldwater-land, the home of the temporary Republican spokesman. As the Band forms a mystical island on the field, we see smoke rising from the foliage and hear in the distance:
“Hawaiian War Chant”
In what appears to be not only the dullest, but also the dirtiest Presidential campaign in recent American history, President Johnson is having a hard time removing the blotches from the Democratic record caused by Billie Sol Estes, Bobby Baker, and Walter Jenkins. Since he is unable to root out the corruption in his system it seems to the Band there is only one solution:
“Mr. Clean”
Looking into the future the Band imagines, contrary to all polls and predictions, Senator Goldwater delivering his inaugural address: Mr. Chief Justice, most honorable members of the Supreme Court, distinguished members of Congress, my fellow citizen — 10, 9, 8, 7 (fade)
“Happy Trails To You”
