SWEETHEART SONG

OF ALL THE GIRLS OF COLLEGE YEARS
THERE IS ONE THAT I'VE LOVED LONG.
FOR ME SHE WEARS THE GOLDEN HEART.
FOR HER I SING THIS SONG.
SIGMA PHI EPSILON SWEETHEART
WONDERFUL SIG EP GIRL
TRUE IS THE HEART THAT YOU'RE WEARING,
YOU SET MY HEART IN A WHIRL.
VIOLETS AND ROSES,
MY HEART DISCLOSES,
SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME TRUE.
MY SIGMA PHI EPSILON SWEETHEART
WONDERFUL SIG EP GIRL

Submitter comment: AS THE MEMBERS STANDING IN A CIRCLE SING THIS SONG, THE SWEETHEART
FOR THAT YEAR IS ESCORTED AROUND AND KISSES EACH OF THE GUYS.
THIS IS NOT SUNG TO A FAMILIAR TUNE.
