If You're Gonna Play in Penn Bowl If you're gonna play in Penn Bowl, you gotta have a buzzer in your hand, And you better know a few things about that Peking Man, So pony up that old Beanie Baby and get yourselves in a trance, If you're gonna play in Penn Bowl, you gotta have a buzzer in your hand. I remember there was one night we were playing a gal named Jo, A scared freshman, yes she was, but she was putting on a show. The moderator recoiled in his chair - we were always wrong, Even here at the half, the match was just too long. If you're gonna play in Penn Bowl, you gotta have a buzzer in your hand, And you better know a few things about that Peking Man, So pony up that old Beanie Baby and get yourselves in a trance, If you're gonna play in Penn Bowl, you gotta have a buzzer in your hand. So we staggered off into the streets of Philly really late. And found a chain restaurant pretty near our place, Don't wanna talk bout tonight And not a thing on tomorrow Just wanna dry our losses in beer before we go. If you're gonna play in Penn Bowl, you gotta have a buzzer in your hand, And you better know a few things about that Peking Man, So pony up that old Beanie Baby and get yourselves in a trance, If you're gonna play in Penn Bowl, you gotta have a buzzer in your hand.

Penn Bowls Chorus Oh, tell me of some old Penn Bowls people like John Nam used to play. Ask me to name some Asian rivers, or how to to spell Achebe. Buzz for a day like Tom Waters, have your buzzer die again, Spend all your time at Rittenhouse, never see the rest of Penn. Just look here at the bracket - we will advance, we surely can. Spend the first night losing close ones, tomorrow's pointless yet again. Spank some novice teams' poor buns, really helping our team's stats. No, my teammate, you dear biscuit, it is not Minnesota Fats. Bridge: Read some periodic table chess, I don't know where to start, I want tossups and some buzzin', 'cause that is near my heart. Oh, tell me of some old Penn Bowls people like John Nam used to play. Ask me to name some Asian rivers, or to spell Achebe, hey, hey. Oh, tell me of some old Penn Bowls Oh, tell me of some old Penn Bowls Oh, tell me of some old Penn Bowls Oh, tell me of some old Penn Bowls
