Hey Mooch, I go to Eastern Michigan University and the Lambda Chis here sing two really great songs during serenading. One is called "Bugaloo" and the other is "Lambda Chis in Hell." I don't have all the words but maybe one of your brother on this site might.

[LXA1048]

There are no lambda chi's down below...down below
there are no lambda chi's down below..down below
Cause they are all up above drinking beer and making love,
there are no lambda chi's down below..down below.

There are no Pi K A's up above...up above

there are no Pi K A'a up above... up above

Cause they are all down below giving he*d to ATO's

There are no Pi K A's up above.

There is one we use around here. Not meant to be derogatory to Pikes and ATO's. Well not really. Maybe a little bit.

[lambda_chi_alpha_IDZ_816]

Magic Carpet Ride is always a good song to choose!

I heard bugaloo at Leadership Seminar many years ago in Boring Green Oh. The guys from UW-Whitewater were singing it and it was great. Wish I knew all the words. Still remember the melody tho.

[LrdOL]

we only really have one, not duragitory to anyone else. . it's pretty safe. . and all the sorities on campus know it now too:-)

being the DJ up here in URI's chapter, when the ELC came around i thought i'd attempt a revamp of some of the songs he brought around, cause they didn't quite "connect with the current times" if you get my drift. . good stuff for black and white movies.
speaking of majic carpet ride, the fatboy slim remix is awsome for mixing at parties. . mix drinks, mix guys and girls, mix music. . whalla!

Are you talking about the version from "GO!", or is there another, newer version?

happy go lucky, bare a** and free
we are the freshmen, we are the best men, we are from lambda CHIIIII

sophmores, we get the best whores
juniors, we get the punias (like punnani)

Man, I heard this song originally by Alpha Phi at Northern Colorado WAY back in 1986......we used Rat-sh*t song as a retort.....

[LCA_SK481]

I can post the words to Boogaloo but there is also actions that go alonge w/ it that would be hard to explain (but i will try).

Boogaloo:
One person shouts: Let me see you Boogaloo...
Brothers reply: What's that you say?
Same person shouts: Let me see you Boogaloo...
Brothers reply: What's that you say?
All say: I said Boo-ga-loo, boo-boo-ga-loo


Let me see you...

Role a joint (role hand on elboe)
Find your anus (point to stars)
scratch your balls (scratch eye balls)
stir it up (make stiring motion)
ur-i-nate (point and say your an 8)
show you're nuts (act stupid)
pet your pussy (pet each others head)
boo-boo-ga-loo (Dance)

[LCAPete]

I know that on lambdachi.org there is a song book. If you follow the collegiate link, then go to manuals, the song book is listed. Some of the songs are good, and some, well they're from the olden days and aren't so good. Hope this gives you a start.

[Pat_BN557]

ok, digging up an old thread here, but it has useful content for what I'm searching for.....

anyways, one song in particular

it starts out as

Well, when i was very young;
they found diamonds in my dung;
and they shipped me off to this fraternity.

so come all ye lazy bastards

and I can't remember any more.... only ever heard/sang to it with a beer in my hand, that could be the problem

anyways, any help with this or other songs would be much appreciated

Billy, I found this one really funny because my Dad was a Pike and Chris Tkacik was an ATO. (For all you non PhiDeltas, Chris Tkacik is our head of judicial affairs who we've had a love hate relationship with over the years)

Even though we never had Pikes and we lost our ATO chapter a while back, I think we could substitute Pi Kappa Phi and ZBT (or SAE).

what are the words to the song that is always sung at General Fraternity events? I always feel like such an idiot not knowing all the words.

What is the deal with Lambda Chi and Magic Carpet Ride?

[MattJackson5]

It's just a song that we enjoy singing/dancing too.

[Tom Earp]

Matt, it is a song We like dancing too? That might should be to! :)

But if you are typing in Earp Speak, Brother Jono and I both got it and understood it! He was at My Founders Day this weekend and WE Like it to!

[MattJackson5]

Yes, Tom, that was a typo on my part. I got so excited thinking about the song and dance that I typed one an extra "O" Sorry about the typo!! hehe


In ZAX,

Matt

[lumpchop1283]

heres a song that none of know where it originalted all we know is that drives the other fraternities crazy.

what we do is line up in rows on bid day and our president leads us off. (if you dont yell it or say it with meaning then it sounds stupid). As we are going to our designated spot we literally cut through every chapter (so the rows have to be tight)

YELLOW BIRD

president: YELLOW BIRD WITH A YELLOW BILL!
brothers:repeat
p: SITTING ON MY WINDOW SILL!
b: repeat
p:LURED HIM WITH A PEICE OF BREAD!
b: repeat
p: THEN I SMASHED HIS FUCKING HEAD!
b: repeat
p: MORAL OF THE STORY BE !
b: repeat
p: (fill in any fraternity name) NO FRATERNITY CAN FUCK WITH ME!
b: repeat.

then we get all riled up and go right into Were All Good Brothers.

if said right with the right emotion, everyone stops because we are the loudest thing out there.

[jodyj1442]

I found one online a couple weeks ago, though it's more of a chant:

We are the men of Lambda Chi
Cross and Crescent, spirits high
purple green and gold are we
number one fraternity
when I say Lambda, you say Chi
Lambda (Chi)
Lambda (Chi)
When I say number, you say one
Number (one)
Number (one)
Lambda Chi is number one!

Hope it helps

[SniffDNZ098]

jody would that be a good chant or cheer before our football games start? Please let me know..Thanks

[jodyj1442]

Yeah, that'd be great for IM games. We usually don't get much opportunity to use our songs/chants other than on our Passover/Bid Night.

[john1082]

Every night after dinner.....

We're all good brothers,
Each one the other's friend
And we'll be good brothers
Until the very end
So while we're together,
Let's raise a rousing cheer
For
Lambda
Chi
Alpha
The bond we hold so dear
Let's give a hip hip hooray
For dear old Lambda Chi
Let's give a hip, hip horay
And raise it to the sky
We'll make the rafters ring
When all the brothers sing
About the Cross and the Crescents
It's the Greatest Thing
We'll shout it loud and strong
We'll shout it all day long
Because we want the world to know
We stand together now
We stand to win and how
For dear old
Lambda Chi
HEY

then with the last word, pound on the table

We use this down here at Beta Nu (Florida Tech). Its great to get all the guys together. We all huddle up and chant it as loud as possible. It really gets my heart going and I love it almost as much as i love Lambda Chi.

Zach,

Welcome to GC!! I was down last Nov. and was the speaker last Founders Day after Chuck Pyser.

Still remember the Schroom with fond memories!!

In ZAX,

[BN635]

Tom-
I do have fond memories of the shroom but unfortunately I wasnt around in the fall during fouders weekend. I was associated in spring and am the last of our new initiates. There are 6 new BN at Florida Tech now and every one of them is a good man that will help our chapter grow along with the guidance of our older brothers. It's good to see the inter-zeta interaction and was suprised when I saw that you were down in founder's day. Are you going to be there again? I am sure that if you had as good a time as you made out that you will have just as good if not a better time and you will be welcome by our whole chapter.

Jono-
It's good to see that our alumni are still involved in the fraternity and especially an older brother like yourself. In case you are wondering, if we initiate 6 good men in the fall you will end up with a 6th century brother (definately a reason to visit).

[Tom Earp]

Zach, I will let Jono tell you the story of why I was down as He tells it much better! Well, I do actually!!! :D

I wish I could as was fun being picked up in Orlando by 3 Crazy Alums that I had never met!

Esp. On, Don Wolf!! (Wolfie) to me!

We get to Melborne and he asks me what Road to turn on tho to get to the Shroom! Wolfie, I have never been here in my Friggin Life and you aske ME!:rolleyes:

God, what great stories! Get with Jono and ask about my first time meeting him, Mouse (Dan M), K. Gilmore (Happy) to me. Could go on but this is wrong thread!!!!!!

Welcome to The BrotherHood!

Has anyone ever heard of a song thats called ruby red or something? At the recent outdoor leadership thing we heard that it is fairly popular.

[DeLong990]

Here is a song we sing, called I'm a Lambda Chi
we yell the parts that are in all caps


I'm a Lambda Chi a hell of a guy and here's a toast to you
To hell with all the sigma chi's and all the phi sigs too
TO HELL WITH PIKES THEY'RE BONERS
and sigma alpha mu
and if ur not a Lambda Chi
to hell to hell with you

Adam was the first man to ever wear the pin
Solomon was the wisest we ever did let in
Sampson was the strongest but he developed the itch
If Ceaser were alive today we'd pin the son of a bitch

I'm a Lambda Chi a hell of a guy and here's a toast to you
To hell with all the sigma chi's and all the phi sigs too
TO HELL WITH PIKES THEY'RE BONERS
and sigma alpha mu
and if ur not a Lambda Chi
to hell to hell with you

Jesse James he wore the pin of dear old Lambda Chi
He rode into the town one night his need to satisfy
he pinched a squirly maiden and much to his surprise
there stood a blushing member of teh delta sigma phi

I'm a Lambda Chi a hell of a guy and here's a toast to you
To hell with all the sigma chi's and all the phi sigs too
TO HELL WITH PIKES THEY'RE BONERS
and sigma alpha mu
and if ur not a Lambda Chi
to hell to hell with you

Actually, I think it's called the "Sweetheart of Lambda Chi", and I'll TRY to recall the lyrics...but the ruby red refers to her lips.

She has two lips of ruby red,
A smile beyond compare,
She has blue eyes to tease you,
and a wealth of golden hair...

I forget the rest of the lyrics, but it ends (here in Colorado with)...

..she's my LXA sweetheart,
my Colorado Rose.

[Tom Earp]

LXAAlum, enjoyed the conversation we just had!:cool:

Hope the Brothers at NCU make it and do well! Iam sure with your help they will!

http://www.lambdachitoronto.com/resources/songs.html

Does anyone know of any recordings of other songs from our songbook? I play drums so I can read the rythms from the songbook, but not the notes.

ZAX,
Chip

When we were posting the songs we looked to see if we could find any of the other "traditional songs".... but it looks like no one has recorded any of them (and having heard some it's probibly a good idea :) ).

The actual songs were converted from a CD that an ELC brought up here to Toronto on his visit; I pretty sure it was Peter Newhouse.

[SniffDNZ098]

Great link, thanks!

So that you all have downloaded those songs and burned out your harddrive listening to them over and over and over, maybe someone can explain the words to me.

What do we mean in the All Hail song by...

"Till mid the battle's din"

or

"lead us a-right for aye"

Thanks!

ZAX,

Chip
BN 281

"Tll mid the battle's din"

That basically means when the sh*t hits the fan, or when the going gets tough.... so no matter the trials we are there for each other.

"lead us a-right for aye"

This means guide us right, sir.... this is an older terminiology which means as I stated: "put us the right path, sir (or other honorific).

That is from the RPI chapter. We sang it when we gave out new bids to the rushees.

I think our chapter has a book of songs somewhere that we found a while ago.

Later

[JoinerLxa]

The song with "Spirit C&C High" has been used at Georgetown
(Kappa-Omega) as well...my guess is, where ever it originated,
it must have made it into a national song book at some time.

[potterLI901]

What about Kenney Chesney's "Keg in the Closet"? That's about Lambda Chi.

[ZetaPhi708]

used to sing it a lot...but I don't know if the active chapter still sings it...( no offense if there are women present on this board )

When you are with your favorite sweetheart,
Under the moonlight's glow,
Put one hand upon her busom,
And the other down below,

When she starts to scream and holler,
And she asks you why, ( Oh, Why < in a high falsetto > )
Tell it's the secret handshake
of Dear Old Lambda Chi....

[TRG308]

Well, we've got a couple of songs that we sing/chant to get our moral boosted and to have a good time.


---

That's about all the ones we sing. Please feel free to e-mail me some good ideas for more, and I'll be trying to come up with a good, completely original one, that can be used universally.

Inappropriate language.

[JonoBN41]

...to get our moral boosted...
Oh, what a difference an "e" makes. :)

[KyleMcGuire1983]

Well, we've got a couple of songs that we sing/chant to get our moral boosted and to have a good time.

"Hidy Tidy"
Hidy Tidy!
G-d Almighty!
Who the hell am I?
Wham! Bam! I'm a Lambda Chi!
A Lambda Chi's a helluva guy who does not give a damn!
He goes to school & breaks the rules & fails his damn exams!
To hell, to hell with Sig Ep!
To hell, to hell with Sigma Nu!
If you are not a Lambda Chi, to hell, to hell with YOU!
Hell with you! (Hell with you!)
Hell with you! (Hell with you!)
Adam was the first man, we ever did let in!
Socrates the wisest to ever wear our pin!
Hercules the strongest, great pillars did he pitch,
And if Caesar was alive, we'd rush the son of a bitch!

"Roll Your Leg Over"
(One of my brothers heard this on a radio somewhere, and we adapted it. If you want to sing it, you have to make up your own verses. The only thing that stays constant is the chorus. Other than that, have fun crackin on your chapter members!)

Chorus: (To be sung after EVERY verse)
Roll your leg over,
ROLL your leg over,
ROLL YOUR LEG OVER,
AND FUCK ME TILL DAWN!

Verses: (Each are only two lines. I'll give you a few, and then have fun!)

If all the young girls were stars in the sky,
They'd pull down their pants, and fuck Lambda Chi!

If all the young girls were like Arabian soil,
I'd whip out my dick, and drill 'em for oil!

(The next two are ones we made up about some members of our chapter)
For all the young girls in the most perfect of health,
Trey will hit on them, then cock-block himself!

If all the young girls were like Alpha-Chi Kim,
They'd get a boyfriend, then fuck Jim again!


"I'm an Asshole"
(Needs to change from chapter to chapter, based on what other fraternities are on campus)

I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole,
I'm an asshole through and through,
But I'd rather be an asshole than a fucking Sigma Nu!

I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole,
I'm an asshole on the go,
But I'd rather be an asshole than a Kappa Delta Rho!

I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole,
I'm an asshole till I'm gone,
But I'd rather be an asshole than a Sigma Phi Epsilon!

I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole,
I'm an asshole till I die,
But I'd rather be an asshole than a Pi Kappa Phi!

I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole,
But who the hell am I!?
Wham Bam Thank you ma'am!
I'M A LAMBDA CHI!

That's about all the ones we sing. Please feel free to e-mail me some good ideas for more, and I'll be trying to come up with a good, completely original one, that can be used universally.


Ripping on other houses....very classy

[Tom Earp]

Thank You for your input.

The post has been edited.

[Zeta-Phi 1023]

We have a chant that goes

Rickety rackety rye
who the hell am I
im the best
of all the rest
because im a lambda chi, hey


Then a moment later an older brother would yell one nine and everyone else yells oh nine, followed by the girls yelling you know. And you scream the whole time

[Chopman]

If it helps, the chant "We're the men from Lambda Chi, Cross and Crescent, spirit high" was orginally written for Iota-Gamma Zeta (Fresno State) in the early 80's. When I travelled as an ELC, I taught everywhere I went. Enjoy.

ZAX,

[LXAdh345]

Heres a song our chapter uses for Pinning with Sororities, its called the Lambda Chi Alpha Darling song:

"For shes a Lambda Chi Alpha darling,
the apple of our eye.
A Lambda Chi Alpha darling,
And that rates-her ace high.
For, where-ever she goes shes smiling,
A twinkle in her eye.
For shes a Lambda Chi Alpha Darling,
Not the Sweet Heart of Sigma Chi.

Oh Oh, the AEPi's view her with envy,
As do the Lame Pikeys.
She has Pi Lams in a frenzy,
and DU on their Knees.

But when her Lambda Chi's come a calling,
You will always hear her sigh (awwww)
For shes a Lambda Chi Alpha Darling,
The Sweat Heart of Lambda Chi,
My Lambda Chi"

The tradition of serenading was really big on my campus (back when dinosaurs walked the earth) and my son, a recent LXA initiate thinks it's hilarious (and a little amazing) that I can still sing all of the fraternity songs, including one for his own Lambda Chi.

Let's give a hip hip hurrah
for dear old Lambda Chi
Let's give a hip hip hurrah
we'll shout it to the sky
We'll make the rafters ring
when all the fellas sing
about the Cross and the Crescent
it's the grandest thing...

We'll shout it
loud and long
we'll shout it all day long
because we want the world to know,
we stand together now
we stand to win,
and how!
for dear old Lambda Chi!

[nbs33]

We have this song at University Nebraska Omaha got it from the South Dakota Guys long time ago: It goes like this:
Mad Berry Road
It was on mad berry road where my daddy shot his load
and he had a little son and it was me
so when I was young they found diamonds in my dung
and he shipped me off to this fraternity

So damn damn damn the Theta Chi's too the Hell with the Sig Ep's and the Pikes, fuck the pikes

You can put us to the test because you know we are the best, we're the drunkest sons of bitches Lambda Chi

So damn damn damn the Theta Chi's too the Hell with the Sig Ep's and the Pikes, fuck the pikes

Now Come on all you crazy bastards raise your glasses up high, high, high you can put us to the to the test because you know we are the best, we're the drunkest sons of bitches Lambda Chi, fuck the pikes
