Jamboree Jones - Spike Jones

I'll begin the story

Out in West Virginia

Is a little college

Rah Rah Rah

All the student body

Only cared for football

Never mind the knowledge

Rah Rah Rah

Never mind the sheepskin

They preferred the pigskin

Seemed to have it in their bones

Yeah they knew all about it

Couldn't do without it

All except a certain

Mr Jamboree Jones

And he played the clarinet

With all his might

He studied night and day

He practiced day and night

No runnin' up the field for Mr Jones

He'd rather run up the

Scale and down the scale

What tones

Even though his buddies

Always cut their studies

To attend the rallies

Rah Rah Rah

While they all were rooting

You could hear him tooting

What's become of Sally

Rah Rah Rah

How they used to hate him

Co eds wouldn't date him

Thought he was an awful bore

Oh but he liked his rhythm

More than being with them

So he'd only turn in

For to practice some more

And meanwhile the team marched

On to greater fame

Till they were asked to play

That famous Rose Bowl game

And on that day of days the

Students beamed

What did they do when the

Team marched on the scene

I want to tell you ladies and

You gentlemen they screamed

Rah Rah Rah Rah

Biff boom bah bah bah dee addle oh

Yea ho watch them go

Startin' from the kick off

They pulled every trick off

But they couldn't win it

No no no

Instead of going forwards

They were going backwards

'Bout a mile a minute

Yeah yeah yeah

Seein' their position

They called intermission

And they heard the referee say

Hey seventeen to nothin'

Ain't exactly nothin'

And you've only got about

A minute to play

And then from the stand

There came a distant wail

And it was Jamboree

A swinging Hold them Yale

Bula bula bula

And then the students

All began to yell

The players marched up the field

And down the field pell mell

Now on a certain West Virginia hill

There stands that college still

Just as it always will

And there's a picture

In the hall of fame

You'll find the boy in

The frame who won the game

Jamboree Jones was the

Gentleman's name
