“ABERDEEN, ABERDEEN……”
ABERDEEN — ADAPTED BY GEOFF SMITH 9/26/05
(with apologies to Abilene, and John Loudermilk, who did the words and music….)
ABERDEEN, ABERDEEN.
PRETTIEST STREET I’VE NEVER SEEN
STUDENTS THERE WILL TREAT YOU MEAN
ON ABERDEEN, MY ABERDEEN.
I SIT ALONE MOST EVERY NIGHT
WATCH THE REVELERS GET IN A BIG FIGHT
GLAD THAT THEY’RE NOT CARRYING ME
BACK TO ABERDEEN, MY ABERDEEN.
ABERDEEN, ABERDEEN.
DIRTIEST STREET I’VE EVER SEEN
STUDENTS THERE WILL TREAT YOU MEAN,
ON ABDERDEEN, MY ABERDEEN.
CROWDED STREET AND SIDEWALK,
THERE AIN’T NOTHING FREE,
NOTHING IN THIS VENUE HERE FOR ME,
GLAD, OH LORD, THAT I CAN BE
ELSEWHERE THAN ABERDEEN, MY ABERDEEN.
A dirge to be sung for the end of Queen’s Homecoming as we’ve known it.
