Boston University Poem

*BU*

(Set to the Melody of “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond)

It begins in the fall,
That’s when we fall for it all,
Oh BU−How we love you.
The Gah-dens of spring,
And Fenway Park of summer,
Is where the love comes shining through.

Souls
Joining souls,
Singing out
Touching meee
Tou-ching youuuuuu

Sweet Red & White! (OH, OH, OH!)
These times always feel so good (So Good, So Good, So Good!)
Oh, what a site! (OH, OH, OH!)
Leave Beantown I never could,

And
Now
I’m

In Agganis,
The Dog Pound is never lonely,
This is where we claim our fate.
The Beanpot is won,
And as Boston’s Champions—
The Terriers
Choose to Be Great.

Song
Forming Songs,
Reaching out
Touching meeee
Tou-ching youuuuuuu

Sweet Red & White! (OH, OH, OH!)
These times always feel so good (So Good, So Good, So Good!)
Oh, what a site! (OH, OH, OH!)
Leave Beantown I never could,

And
How
We

Wear it so loud.
The colors of Boston are here:
The school, the parks, they’re everywhere.
Red & White shirts.
We even have white with Red Sox
In harmony with our BU.

Oh,
Souls
Joining souls,
Singing out
Touching meee
Tou-ching youuuuuuuuu

Sweet Red & White! (OH, OH, OH!)
This blend never looked so good (So Good, So Good, So Good!)
Oh, what a site! (OH, OH, OH!)
Leave Beantown I never could.

Sweet Red & White (OH, OH, OH!)
Each time always feels so good (So Good, So Good, So Good!)
Sweet Red & White (OH, OH, OH!)
Forget these nights I never could.

Sweet Red & White…
