Now there's a little rule says that hot plates cannot be
                                   G7
And you know we all observe it, so if you wish to see
        C                                                   Dm
You can search our rooms all over and I'm sure none will be found
          F                 C                   G7          C
If you'll just give us fair warning when you're gonna come around

Chorus:

       F                                  C

With hot plate competition they'd go broke

        C
Now the guys in Old East Campus like to have a little fun
                                   G7
But the Institute has told us it's gotta end at one
    C                                             Dm
Now maybe you can stretch it, but you'd better be discreet
      F                   C               G7             C
Or it just might hit page one of Boston's little scandal sheet

           C
There's an annual event which we call Old East Campus Day
                                 G7
Just a peaceful celebration that spring is on its way
          C                                          Dm
Now there may just be some racket, some water coming down
     F                  C              G7               C
So I think I'll play it safe and maybe just stay out of town

Chorus:

         F                        C
Cause it gets kinda noisy here by Old East Campus

Now don't let me mislead you, I am not dissatisfied
                                           G7
Cause I know that loud objectors sometimes take a little ride
         C                                            Dm
Old East Campus ain't the bestest place in all the universe
        F                 C              F           G7        C
But you could be stuck in Burton and you know that's ten times worse

Yes, I'll stay here and not leave Old East Campus
N.C.
MIT is sure a drag
Shut the door and bite the bag
     F                            C
Yes, I'll stay here and not leave Old East Campus
       Dm                G7       C             G7 C
