The Gym Song

When the Park is just a puddle and the field is like a pond,

We can take our recreation in the Gym:

For of indoor soccer, basketball and pins we’re very fond

When the chance of getting out is rather slim.

And it’s there that we rehearse our Elizabethan verse

And the lecturers delight our every whim.

For when it snows or rains we can stimulate our brains

With mental recreation in the Gym.

So we don’t care a rap what the weather man says.

We can take our recreation in the Gym.

 

You can learn to use a rapier like the famous musketeers

By taking recreation in the Gym;

The noble art of self-defense will drive away your fears

When you meet a foeman rather large of limb.

So if you’re on your mettle, and you have a score to settle,

And your countenance is just a trifle grim,

You can fight it out with gloves till you feel like cooing doves.

It's a form of recreation in the Gym.

 

CHORUS:

For we don’t care a rap what the weather man says—

We can take our recreation in the Gym.
