Please follow along according to the tune “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus. This rendition is to celebrate my first ever Harvard Yale game that happened a year ago today. It’s also an ode to the fact that whether or not you choose to drink on an occasion such as The Game, you can have a ton of fun and make lots of memories either way! So without further ado, “Party In The Yale Bowl”.
I hopped off the bus at New Haven
With a dream and my winter coat
Welcome to the land of smart drunk people (whoa),
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped through the gate,
Here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Harvard tailgate sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems (not) so smart
Missing Cambridge, I’m feelin’ kinda not safe
Too desolate and I’m nervous,
That’s when I heard the signal whistle blow
And all the free food was gone
And all the free shirts were gone
And all the tattoos were on (faces)
So I put my hands up
It’s time for The Game,
The butterflies fly away
I’m noddin’ my head like yeah
Movin’ my foam finger like yeah
I got my hands up,
It’s time for The Game
I know we’re gonna be OK
Yeah, it’s a party in the Ugly Yale Bowl
Yeah, it’s a party in the Ugly Yale Bowl
Get to my seat in the student section
Everybody’s looking at me now
Like, “Who’s that chick that’s without a red cup?
She gotta be from New Haven.”
So hard with my books not around me
It’s definitely not a pset party
‘Cause all I see are red cup photos
I guess I never got the memo
My friends are fallin’ and they’re feelin’ kinda really sick
Too many people and I’m nervous
That’s when the ball passed on the stadium
And we knew The Game was on
And we forgot about our worries
Because we knew The Game was on!
So I put my hands up
Harvard’s in the lead,
The football flies around
I’m screaming “GO CRIMSON” like yeah
Movin’ my foam finger like yeah
I got my hands up,
It’s time for The Game
I know we’re gonna be OK
Yeah, it’s a party in the Ugly Yale Bowl
Yeah, it’s a party in the Ugly Yale Bowl
Feel like hoppin’ on a bus (on a bus)
Back to my school’s town tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The other Crimson’s accept my soberness and I feel alright
So I put my hands up
It’s the time for The Game,
The butterflies fly away
I’m noddin’ my head like yeah
Movin’ my foam finger like yeah
I got my hands up,
It’s time for The Game
I know we’re gonna be OK
Yeah, it’s a party in the Ugly Yale Bowl
Yeah, it’s a party in the Ugly Yale Bowl
So I put my hands up
The Game’s almost done,
The worries all fly away
I’m noddin’ my head like yeah
Movin’ my foam finger like yeah
I got my hands up,
Harvard just won The Game
I know we’re gonna be OK
Yeah, it’s a party in the Ugly Yale Bowl
Yeah, it’s time to leave the Ugly Yale Bowl!
