[Genie:]
Professor Gilder is my name,
And simply boundless is my fame.
[Chris:]
And I claim the same!
[Girls:]
Ah!
[Genie:]
You ne'er again need hope to scan
The feature of so great a man,
[Chris:]
So gaze while you can.
[Girls:]
Ah!
[Genie:]
To realize the brains that lie
Beneath a forehead broad and high,
[Chris:]
Pray, cast here an eye!
[Chorus:]
Ah! Of all the varied "ologies,"
Of 'varsities and colleges,
More than profound their knowledge is
In fact they know it all!
[Chris:]
Oh! I am an L. L. D.
[Genie:]
And I am an I. O. U.
[Chris:]
For both of us took a high degree
At the college of Hoop de Doo!
[Genie:]
Oh, I am an X. Y. Z.
[Chris:]
I never knew that of you,
[Both:]
He's/I'm an O. K. and a C. O. D.
As well as a P. D. Q.
[Chorus:]
For he is an L. L. D.
[Chris:]
I am!
[Chorus:]
And he is an I. O. U.
[Genie:]
I am!
[Chorus:]
For both of them took a high degree
At the college of Hoop de Doo!
[Chris & Genie:]
Doo, doo,
[Chorus:]
Oh, he is an X. Y. Z.
[Genie:]
I am!
[Chorus:]
We never knew that of you,
[Chris:]
I am!
[All:]
He's/I'm an O. K. and a C. O. D.
As well as a P. D. Q.
[Chris:]
In ev'ry climate, land, or zone,
Professor Wilder is well known.
[Genie:]
I don't like your tone.
[Girls:]
Ah!
[Chris:]
And when it comes to foreheads wide,
You will admit this can't be tied.
[Genie:]
Look here and decide.
[Girls:]
Ah!
[Chris:]
My partner there too jealous is,
You all may read it in his phiz.
[Genie:]
But he knows his biz.
[Chorus:]
Ah! Of all the varied "ologies,"
Of 'varsities and colleges,
More than profound their knowledge is
In fact they know it all!
[Chris:]
Oh! I am an L. L. D.
[Genie:]
And I am an I. O. U.
