On the Campus

"On the Campus" is a 1927 song from Good News! It presents a joking look at the promiscuous lives of the college students at Tait. The song has only been included in the 1927 and 1993 versions of the show.

1927 - Broadway/1993 - Wichita
On Broadway, the number was performed by four supporting characters: Flo, Millie, Windy, and Sylvester. In Wichita, the number was expanded vocally to feature the entire ensemble.

STUDENTS
On the campus,

Couples gather nightly on the campus.

When the moon shines brightly

You can see us

There.

Pair by

Pair.

We are out for more than just a breath of

Air.

On the campus,

If a sneaky "prof" should ever lamp us,

We'd be

Through!

It's daring

Pairing

Up for a lark

On the campus,

After dark...
