Show Leap Year The girls would have them all that way, For some hope lies in each new day. But where's a man who'd ask for more Than one leap-year in every four? Dear Old Gym Y/ou have been upon the hill here many years, Dear old gym. You were built for one class only (here's some tears), Dear old gym. In those days of long ago You were large enough, 'tis so, But forget not that we grow, Dear old gym. Once we thought to have a new place for the men, Dear old gym. You weren't good enough for women even then, Dear old gym. And although this plan fell through, We have hopes of something new, And our hatred grew for you, Dear old gym. As the classes still increase in passing years, Dear old gym. And poor heroes worked to win the lusty cheers, Dear old gym. Then when the games were through, And the boys returned to you, Then the showers were all too few, Dear old gym. When we asked them for some collars, Poor old gym. Your poor rooms displayed to callers, Poor old gym. But they spurned our earnest prea, And our hopes to Mars did flee, So we still are crowding thee, Poor old gym.
