Students Are We

"Students Are We" is a 1927 song from Good News! It is the alma mater of the fictional Tait College.

1927 - Broadway
This version leads directly into "He's a Ladies' Man."

CHOIR
Students are we of dear old Tait College,

Learning, learning, learning every day!

Filling our minds with jewels of knowledge,

Learning, learning, learning every day!

Learning how to sin, (Not how to think.)

How to mix our gin, (Right in the sink.)

We spend our days in having romances,

Learning, learning, learning all the time.

When we're through with college

And our pennants have been furled,

We'll be prepared to face the wide, wide world!

1974 - Broadway/1993 - Wichita
These productions made very minor edits to the alma mater. The primary difference is that it now comes before the overture, not after.

When we're through with college

And our pennants have been furled,

We'll be prepared to face the wide, wide world!

CHEERLEADERS
T-A-I-T, Tait! Tait for victory!

T-A-I-T, Tait! Tait for victory!

Yeah, Tait! Hit 'em on the left side,

Yeah, Tait! Hit 'em on the right side,

T! A! I! T! Fight, fight, fight fight,

Fight, fight, fight for Tait!

Fight, fight, fight fight,

Fight, fight, fight for Tait!
