Songs of Alpha Sigma Phi

Songs Of Alpha Sigma Phi a musical tradition for over 150 years

NOTE: The WAV files are excerpts from Songs of Alpha Sigma Phi, a vinyl LP produced many years ago exclusively for the Fraternity. It is no longer in print. Sound clips were extracted from a tape of the album, and sound quality is fair to good.

OKLAHOMA! Music by Richard Rodgers, Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, from the Broadway musical Oklahoma! Adopted as the official song of the State of Oklahoma . They couldn't pick a better time to start in life It ain't too early and it ain't too late Starting as a farmer with a brand-new wife Soon be livin' in a brand new state! Brand new state! Gonna treat you great... Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters Pasture for the cattle, spinach and termaters! Flowers on the prairie where the junebugs zoom, Plen'y of air and plen'y of room... Plen'y of room to swing a rope! Plen'y of heart and plen'y of hope. . CHORUS . O....klahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain And the waving wheat can sure smell sweet When the wind comes right behind the rain! O....klahoma, every night my honey lamb and I Sit alone and talk, and watch a hawk Makin' lazy circles in the sky. We know we belong to the land And the land we belong to is grand! And when we say... Yeow! A-yip-i-o-e-yay! We're only sayin'... You're doin' fine Oklahoma Oklahoma...OK! . (Traditionally, only the chorus of Oklahoma! is played by the bells of the Oklahoma Memorial Union on home football game days. It is also played by the Pride of Oklahoma marching band during football games. The complete lyrics of the song are shown here.)
