One of those playful "collegiate" themed presentations.
(NOTE: Some of the lyrics in the original recording are difficult to understand. But, to the best of my knowledge, these lyrics have never been posted anywhere online. I have done my best to transcribe these lyrics from the original recording.)

(INTRO: All band members)

Forty-nine bottles, hanging on the wall.
Forty-nine bottles, hanging on the wall.
Take one away, from them all,
Forty-eight bottles, hanging on the wall.

(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE, CHORUSES AND BRIDGE)

("Incidental Singing" by band members)

That co-ed party,
It's all set for tonight,
Don't be high-hat,
Though you may wear a tux.

Meet on the campus,
Eight o'clock's about right,
And bring along,
A freshman with two bucks.

The girls don't know we're coming,
But we never fail,
Grab your favorite gargoyle (??)
I'll take mine with ginger ale,

That co-ed party,
Oh, we'll dance and we'll pet,
That's all there is,
There isn't any more!!

(All band members:)

To the dear old,
Hang a mirror,
For the hero,
Of the campus,

Then, we'll all run,
Helter-skelter,
When it's darkness,
On the Phi Delta.

To the team, to the team,
To dear old Alla-Kazam, (??)
To the girls, to the boys,
May they never flunk an exam!

We'll lead, rah-rah,
And a sis-boom-cha-cha-cha!

(Instrumental performance of first two choruses.)
(For the bridge, Bernie Cummins speaks the following lines:)

Now, you've all heard of that sweetheart,
Of dear old Sigma Chi,
Well, she's all through with "Siggie",
For, she found I'm a better guy!

(One final instrumental performance of the chorus, and then, end.)
