OH SIGMA PI (TUNE: DANNY BOY)
OH SIGMA PI, THE MEN THE MEN ARE SHOWING
FROM HOUSE TO HALL AND O'RE THE CAMPUS WIDE
BUT SOME ARE GONE AND MANY MORE ARE GOING
TIS SAD, TIS SAD THAT SOME MUST STAND ASIDE.
BUT THEY'LL COME BACK WHEN BROTHERS MEET AGAIN,
OR WHEN THERE'S WAR, WE'LL GATHER TEN TIMES TEN,
WE'LL ALL BE THERE IN SUNSHINE OR IN SHADOW
OH SIGMA PI, OH SIGMA PI I LOVE YOU SO.

ONE TIME, A FRIEND OF MINE WENT OVER TO THE SHRINE
AT LOURDES, AND HE DOUBTED THE STORY OF THE BLESSED
VIRGIN'S APPARITION. SO WHILE HE WAS PRAYING AT
THE SHRINE, HE ASKED TO SEE A LITTLE GIRL TWELVE
YEARS OLD IN A WHITE DRESS HAND HIM A RED ROSE, AND
THEN HE WOULD BELIEVE. SO, AS HE WAS WALKING OUT,
HE SAW A LITTLE GIRL IN A RED DRESS, AND SHE HANDED
HIM A RED ROSE. SO THEN HE ASKED HER HOW OLD SHE
WAS, AND SHE SAID, "TWELVE."
