The Ivy Covered Walls Harry Nilsson

Just behind the ivy covered walls
We used to walk the Ivy leaguer halls
We used to share an Ivy leaguer look
But (we lost it with the chemicals that we took)

Now the good books in the library look better every day
And the dean and all his bribery took our faith in him away

So we wandered through the garden by the ivy covered walls
And we waited for the magic where the sleepy nighttime falls

But the books we learned to love so much were very hard to read
So we hunted for a light, just a light was all we'd need

Then we saw a glow not far away
Just a stones throw you might say
And we headed for the light we saw
We knew would lead the way

And the light shone through the window of a handsome hansel house
And we peeked inside the window (quiet) as a mouse

On the table near the fire was a book we all had read
With a cover so familiar, not another word was said

So we threw away the chemicals and we strolled back through the night
And we climbed the ivy covered walls (then we said goodnight) that's right
