When I was a lad I went to Yale

And I knew then that I could never fail
彼时便知 此生必不凡
For I studied very hard and furthermore
寒窗苦读自不必说
I polished up the apple for the professor
更殷勤为教授奉上金苹果*
He polished up the apple for the professor

That soon I had a Phi Beta Kappa Key
终得斐陶斐*金钥垂腰间
He soon had a Phi Beta Kappa key
