Bilingual
I went down to the clothing store to buy a brand new suit
The latest styles in wardrobe, complete from cap to boot
I found the haberdashery bizarre for men and boys
I bought myself a set of threads for culture and for boys
And now I'm Ivy, Ivy, Ivy League
I feel like a Princeton graduate when I wear my brand new clothes
Because I'm Ivy, Ivy, Ivy League
I'm definitely in the Ivy League from head to toes
I gave away my blue suede shoes, my snapbrim hat and my double breasted blues
Complete new wardrobe, the latest word
And topped it off with a thunderbird
Ivy, Ivy, Ivy League
Yes, we're Ivy League
The narrow tie and narrow lapel are really quite in style
The tighter pleatless trouser will bring a knowing smile
They're saving a lot of cloth that way, on that there's no dispute
I wonder if perhaps they use this cloth to make for suits
And all of them Ivy, Ivy, Ivy League
I feel like a Princeton graduate when I wear my brand new clothes
Because I'm Ivy Ivy Ivy League
I'm definitely in the Ivy League from head to toes
Got a Gabardine cap with a buckle in the back
A three button coat with a vent in the back
A tattersall vest of navy blue
And a beautiful plain tipped Cordovan shoe
We have no money any more
But very proudly we can say
We're Ivy League
All the way
