'Tis good news

You're gonna do me good

Come right here to me, good news

- Good news, news

You're what I've waited for

That's what I'm slaving for

Good news is so

Good to me

Goody, good good good

Good news, you're bound to do me good

Come right here to me, good news

Gotta have good news

So we're saying bye-bye, bad news

Hello! Goody, good news!

T- A-I-T, T-A-I-T, T-A-I- Tait! Hooray!

- Hi, Babe.

- Hi, gang.

- We're gonna watch football practice.

- No, thank you.

Hey, there's the dean.

- Wow, get a load of that!

- Who is it?

She's the new pledgee, Pat McClellan.

A transfer from

the Black Briar Finishing School.

- And I do hope you'll like it here.

- I love it already, Dean Griswold.

You've been absolutely charmant.

- Goodbye, Miss McClellan.

- Au revoir!

- Hello, Babe.

- Hello, McClellan.

- Everybody, this is Pat McClellan.

- Hi, Pat.

Enchante. Enchante.

Hey, wait'll Tommy Marlowe

gets a load of that!

- How men'll fall for a pretty face.

- You said it.

- Last chance to go to the field.

- Aw, football!

- What are we waiting for?

- Come on, let's go.

Fellows, I hate to say it, but that was

a pretty nice practice. Thompson...

...watch your passing.

Zubrowski, nice broken field running.

Beef, I'll get to you later.

- What are you doing?

- I'm warming up.

- Can't hang up a cold uniform.

- Bobby, get your uniform off.

I never get to wear it. I like to

keep it on till the last minute.

I even rub a little dirt on it just

to convince myself I'm on the team.

- You'll get off the bench this year.

- I hope so.

All the girls want football heroes.

I guess that's about all.

You can go to the party tonight.

And you can stay out till 10:00.

Listen, you crybabies! You're not

gonna be so social this year.

We're not running a mahjong society.

I want you all out for early practice.

And don't forget,

this is just the beginning.

The first game's

just a week off. Okay.

Good going. You're in the pink.

- You'll be better than last year.

- Thanks, I owe it all to Poochie.

- I made him work.

- We'll win every game...

...including against Colton.

- Don't say it.

Think it, but don't say it out loud!

The evil spirits don't like it.

You're lucky you're

the best trainer here.

Tommy, you gotta stay away

from the women this year.

Remember, you're a football player,

not Rudolph Valentino.

Women won't interfere with how I play.

I can take them or leave them.

I wish another player

could say the same.

- Beef.

- Yes, sir?

- Where were you today?

- Right here on the field.

Your delicate body may have been there,

but that dumb head of yours...

...was off worrying about

that flapper, Babe Doolittle.

You're right, coach. But I'll be

all right, I'm studying psychology.

Psychology! It's black magic.

Leave it alone.

It teaches you to act natural. You

shouldn't have repressed hostilities.

If you got something inside,

you should let it come out.

So I want to announce right now...

...if anyone comes near

Babe Doolittle, I'll kill him!

- Wow! You tell 'em, Beef.

- That's love.

- Bobby, hurry up.

- Have you met the new bombshell yet?

The Phi Gamma Gamma,

Patricia McClellan.

She's burning up the campus.

Haven't you seen her?

- I let the gals come to see me.

- Tommy, how do you do it?

It's a cinch and it's a snap

They just fall in your lap

And, Bobby, you can make them

Do the same

Who, me? Never.

Don't be scared, don't be shy

Get that gleam in your eye

And then you'll have more girls

Than you can name

Wear collegiate, collegiate clothes

- Be a ladies' man

- I just look silly.

Get that swagger and get that pose

- Be a ladies' man

- I couldn't.

If you think you're much too skinny

With your six-inch waist

Don't just give up the fight in haste

Some girls have such peculiar taste

Be a ladies'

Be a ladies'

Learn to be a ladies' man

- And be collegiate

- Collegiate

- Collegiate

- Collegiate.

Walk collegiate, talk collegiate

- Be a ladies' man

- A rooty tooty

Get that swagger, get that pose

- Be a ladies' man

- A rooty toot

And when a ladies' man

Wears a certain tie

And that twinkle is in his eye

You can kiss your sweetie-pie goodbye

They love a ladies' man

- Oh, how I love the ladies

- Root toot-toot, rooty toot-toot-toot

Get that gleam, boy

Right in your eye

- I wanna be a ladies' man

- A rooty tooty

Root toot-tooty, toot-toot-toot-toot

Be a ladies' man

A rooty tooty

When they give you that frozen stare

Make believe that you just don't care

Then in no time they're in your hair

If you're a ladies' man

If you're a ladies' man

If you're a ladies' man

You gotta be up-to-date

You gotta know your stuff

If you want to rate

You gotta sing vo-do-de-o

and boop-boop-a-doop

You gotta ukelele lady

Lika she lika you

You gotta do the Black Bottom

Gotta do the Shag

And the Charleston

And the Varsity Drag

Oh, how I love the ladies

Wear collegiate, collegiate clothes

We're so collegiate

Rather be a ladies'

Rather be a ladies'

Rather be a ladies' man

Swagger!

And strike a pose

Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be

Rooty toot-toot

To be a ladies' man

If you're a football star

A big shot or an also-ran

A guy whose clothes don't fit him

Or a Dapper Dan

Any man who is half a man

Has to be a ladies'

Gotta be a ladies'

Gonna be a ladies'

Gotta be a ladies'

Hope to be a ladies'

Gotta be a ladies'

- Gotta be a ladies' man

- The cat's pajamas

- Gotta be a ladies' man

- I'll pay you Tuesday

- Gotta be a ladies' man

- I really mean it

Gotta be a ladies' man

And I don't mean maybe

Got to be a ladies' man

If I do more of this, I won't

have strength for the party.

Why do you need strength?

Beef's curfew is 10.

I'm through with football stars

whose curfews are 10.

- My new passion is Bobby Turner.

- That skeleton?

He's about as appealing as

a string bean. He's nothing.

Yeah, he's nothing.

He's on the scrub team.

He can stay out all night.

Oh, I'm mad about him.

- Does the lucky boy know about this?

- He will tonight.

Of all the nerve, she can't do this!

Where's Connie?

- Look at that thing. What is it?

- Pat McClellan's dress.

- Oh, gee.

- Wow!

She made me fix it.

I don't have to do that.

- I'm gonna tell Connie.

- Come on, she's in the kitchen.
