The theme song to the classic movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights
for best effect sing while wearing long johns... ;-)
We're men, we're men in tights.
We roam around the forest looking for fights.
We're men, we're men in tights.
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right!
We may look like sissies, but watch what you say or else we'll put out your lights!
We're men, we're men in tights,
Always on guard defending the people's rights.
[Dance number, chorus line style]
We're men, MANLY men, we're men in tights. Yeah!
We roam around the forest looking for fights.
We're men, we're men in tights.
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right!
We may look like pansies, but don't get us wrong or else we'll put out your lights.
We're men, we're men in tights (TIGHT tights),
Always on guard defending the people's rights.
When you're in a fix just call for the men in tights!
We're butch.
I don't know if there ever was an original, but there are a couple of good ones in the song book. Nothing specifically AUTC-related, but I rather like this - it's an old 'un, but a good 'un:
-Kat.
WALLA-WALLA
Climbers:
We're the cream of the mountain fraternity,
You trampers are only the skim,
But tramping (when far from the Hermitage)
Satisfies an occasional whim.
Walla-walla-walla....
Chorus:
Oh, here's to the track and the mountain-top!
And here's to the climber who dares!
But give me my glass and my bottle-o,
To drive away all of my cares!
Trampers:
Now tramping's position's unassailable,
We object to being called just the skim,
But when none but a climber's available,
Why, we'll even go tramping with him!
Walla-walla-walla...
All:
Now skiing's a first-rate activity,
(Provided you've got pansy clothes),
But in spite of our natural proclivity,
We'd never be one of those!
Walla-walla-walla...
Climbers:
Glissading's a glorious feeling,
As you slide down the slope on your feet,
But the rest of the day's spent concealing
A wet and uncomfortable seat!
Walla-walla-walla...
Trampers:
There are theories and ways of belaying,
You can either use pick or use shaft,
But no matter what style you're displaying,
Some 'expert' will think that you're daft!
Walla-walla-walla...
All:
We're surely the cream of humanity,
In spite of our squabbles and scraps,
We're all of the mountain fraternity,
Including canoeists - perhaps!
Walla-walla-walla...
