 There's nothing rich folks love more

Than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor

They pull up in their carriages and gawk

At the students in the common 

just to watch 'em talk

Take Philip Schuyler, the man is loaded

Uh-oh, but little does he know

That his daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
FA#
Sneak into the city 

just to watch all the guys at-
