You’re Never Fully Dressed Without Some Slime
(to the tune of “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile” from Annie)

Hey, Hippie Guy! Hey, Theta Chi!

You’re both lookin’ prime,
But brother, you’re never fully dressed without some slime.

Your clothes may be organic free trade
With no corporate crime,
But sister, you’re never fully dressed without some slime.

Who cares what they’re wearing,
What fashion is out or in?
It’s not the clothes upon your back
But what oozes from your skin
That matters.

So, Kitty, dear, our city here
Is simply sublime.
Remember you’re never fully dressed,
Though you may wear your best.
You’re never fully dressed without some slime.

Next Summer
(to the tune of “Tomorrow” from Annie)

The sun’ll come out next summer.
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There’ll be sun.

It’ll soon be the end of summer.
Winter’s such a long and gloomy bummer
And no fun.

When I’m stuck with a day that gray and soggy,
I just stick out my eyes, arise and cheer. Oh!
The sun’ll be back next summer,
So you gotta hang on to this summer,
Hold it dear.
It’s summer! It’s summer! In your heart it’s summer.
To warm you throughout the year.
It’s summer! It’s summer! In your heart it’s summer.
To warm you throughout the year!
