NOTES [55 words]: Although I was able to verify that this song is in "Camp and Club Songs," which seems to be its source, I have been unable to procure a full text; the book is no longer readily available. Averill implies that the song has been suppressed, and I suspect it has, because of its casual approach to problems of weight and height. - RBW
