Roaming Rats 3
Wanna get humble, tell you what you do
Fix yourself some flashback stew
take a 30-year trip, and back into,
those hazy days at EIU.
(-Charleston, Illinois
-Land of Lincoln
-I heard of people giving you a hand
-First time I saw a statue giving you the finger)

Looked like something from the Grapes of Wrath
Ma and Pa and their sociopath
Packed his albums, Hid his stash
Best way known to avoid the draft
(-Good bye Ma, Hello ladies
-Wanna see my blacklight poster
-Is that a real poncho or a Sears� poncho?)

They drifted in to Carmen Hall
Wanna-be-hippies, one and all
Landed on this big orange couch
Where the highest hippies all hung out
(-Blue jeans, T-shirt and army surplus
- Poor boys though, they could only afford one letter
-Watch out for that water balloon Lumpy)

The Lord helps fools and he did not fail
It�s a wonder they didn�t all land in jail
Drinking this and smelling that
Eating brownie, not getting fat
(-Higher Education
-Must have been a religious group
-all them white crosses. )

The boys set out for apartment-ville
With nails and lumber and determined wills
Begged and borrowed, supplies in hand
Started in building TV stands
(-The great entertainment center build-off
-A regular tower of Babel with 3-way speakers
-Cowboy Bob and 4-way Kool-Aid)
Want to get to heaven, tell you what to do
Watch yourself that new Kung-Fu
Adjust your aura, start breathing right
No Annie Green Springs Friday night
(-Get your total enlightenment here
-Eternal bliss $40 per letter -TM
-Some meditation required.)

Jap and Oire, Zoot and Hank 
in that 9th Street House
Beetz and Chuch come moving in
As others graduated out
The Bozo�s got loaded on the bus, but no barneys nor no zips
To this day it remains unknown who took those giant lips
(-A porch swing with revolving doors
-Water beds, and art supplies, jam sessions, original artwork,
- Like a Rolling Stones)

Sigma Pi, Delta Chi, Tri-Sigs, TKE�s and Pikes
Ted�s whorehouse, Chink and Kates, Sporties, Roc�s and Ikes
Fluffing up their shaggy hair, jeans and brown earth shoes
Hank was harping out, �Mrs. Memenga
Got them my butthole hurts blues�
(-A veritable zoo,
-they got falling squirrels, Dr. Rat, slugs, chickens
-and the neighborhood hog� fucker)

All good things got to end sometime
And so it was with my BS spree
Six years later, with a juco course,
finished up my college degree
There is no moral to this tale
Though the boys made out good
May they meet in the by and by
Sporting bifocal Hollywoods
(-Earned that education
-Hard knocks and know-how
-Ahead of my time
-Rapid change)
