Lyrics to Oh Pat
 

Can someone post the lyrics to Oh Pat for me? I need to teach it to our new girls this weekend before our semis in a few weeks! Also...if anyone has any "special" songs, message those to me as well please! Thanks!

I will PM you.

How'd it go?

those actually weren't the lyrics we use for oh pat...but i read them out the girls and they got a kick out of it (especially since 2 of the other sororitys in the song are on our campus and one is our neighbor) thanks for your help!

Most chapters only sing the first verse of Oh Pat (Oh Pat says she...). Very few even know the other verses. But the first verse should be pretty much the same for all chapters.

Oh jeez, I just realized I never PM'd you that other song. :o

kappa_babe, your reply to this post hasn't shown up yet, but I got an e-mail notification. :confused: Anyway, I PM'ed you with the lyrics.

While we're on this topic... I've been singing Pat with my son since he was born, along with the hand motions. (He's now one.) Of course we change the words to "I am so happy my Mama's a Kappa." ;)

I can't remember the words to this verse, and they weren't on the Kappa website last time I looked. Can anyone help?

"Pat" said she, "What?" said he
"I've seen the kite" said she
"Also the anchor and arrow so bright" said she
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
"All that you want is the golden key."

I'll PM you, too!

Yes I got them Thanks again!!

How many verses of "Oh Pat" are there? Just want to make sure I'm not missing out on something! :)

There are 3 verses, but most Kappas have only heard of the 1st one and the chorus.

I had NO idea about the third one! Could someone post the 3rd verse or PM me with it? I am so excited to share this with my chapter! :) Thanks!

I'll PM you, too!

who is pat?
 

hi! does anyknow know the history behind oh pat? who is pat anyways? im really curious?! help!

All the songbook says is that the words were written by Upsilon and Theta chapters to the "Irish Wash Woman" tune. This is purely speculation, but Pat was probably used because of its popularity in Ireland (since the Irish Wash Woman tune was used) and because Pat sounds better than a multi-syllabic name.
