Arethusa “Boola” Song

Alpha Chapter

I. Well here we are, well here we are.

   And glad to be here once again.

   Then let us sing, Oh, let us sing

   To the tune of a merry old refrain:

   Our song shall tell of the merry days

   Spent in the B. N. S.

   But the chorus of the song we sing

   Tells the part we love the best.

 

            Chorus:

                    Arethusa, Arethusa,

                          A R, A R, A R E.

                   Arethusa, Arethusa,

                          T-H,  T H,  U S-A

 

II. In a cozy little room on the very top floor

     ‘Tis there on Friday eves we always meet.

      When we feel to our surprise

      So very witty, very wise,

      And ready with the sages to compete.

      Oh, sadly comes the day to us that we

      Must say farewell,

      When memories of happy days will be all

      There is left for us to tell.

 

            Chorus: Repeat
