Harvard 1975
Princeton at Harvard
November 8th, 1975
Princeton wins 24-20
Pregame
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Princeton University “vidi, vici, veni” Marching Band!
“Cannon Song” “
H” is for “handkerchief,” which you won’t be waving today.
“Harvardiana”
Finally, the Band forms its famous rotating “P,” saluting all those loyal alumni who “P”-raded to Cambridge today.
“Going Back”
Halftime
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long…hard look at the Big Three, in descending order.
“Princeton Forward”
Administrators at Princeton have recently expressed concern over excessive drinking in the stands at football games. We soberly…note that they couldn’t be talking about the Band; as everyone knows, we do all our drinking on the field… Perhaps they are referring to our thirsy…alumni, who drown their sorrows…even when we win. No less than our Boston alumni are known to sneak a…Shirley Temple on the sly. When asked to comment, one alumnus remarked, “The fizz makes my tongue…tingle.”
“Thank Heaven For Little Girls”
Next we look at…Harvard. You can always tell a Harvard man…but you can’t tell him much. Nor can you understand much of what he’s telling you. After living in Boston for four years, he can’t even “pak his cah in Hahvahd yahd.” Translation: he can’t even “park his car in Harvard yard.” Forming:
a) a Harvard yard,
b) a Yarvard hard,
c) a Derek Box, or
d) a box lunch,
the Band sadly notes that in Harvard’s box…lunch, there are no bananas.
“Yes, We Have no Bananas”
We now turn our attention to the least of the Big Three. When considering…Yale, the old adage comes to mind, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”
