New Haven State Of Mind Lyrics

The good ol’ days on Old Campus, froshin’ together
Right next to Vanderbilt, but I’ma claim Welch forever
I’m the new the A. Cooper, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yeah they love me everywhere

Used to cop from Durfee's, late night for all my bros
Used to go up Broadway, even though it’s hella cold
Eat slices while I crammed, maybe glance at YTV
Maybe should’ve Blue-Booked more during shopping week

Hyped up at the H-Y, Blue vs. Crimson
All-star tailgates, hopin’ for a Bulldog win
Now I’m up at Hillhouse, home of my boy Dickie
'Bout to hit up Commons, and I brought Ziplocs with me

Shout out Local 34, swiping my I.D
Eating as much as I can before the Tea in T.D
Head out from Woolsley, passin’ my man-Silli
Cruisin’ down Wall Street, mad love to the Beinecke in…

CHORUS
New Haven, where memories of a lifetime are made, oh
There’s nowhere you can’t go, Now you’re a bulldog
It’s been 9 years since we enrolled
And even though we’re old, cheer for the Bulldogs, Bulldogs, Bulldogs
Catch me at Battell Chapel, watching a capella sing
Yale made a capella more famous than those kids on Glee
You should know I bleed blue, but I ain’t a blue blood
Even though a lotta haters think we’re repping G Dubs

Down in little Bangkok, hella Thai restaurants
Pad thai and lard nar, people saying "kop khun ka"
Pepe’s slice, Naples' slice, Yorkside gimme some of dat
For girls ‘n boys that ain’t skinny, frosh fifteen made ‘em fat

12 college buildings out there, mostly all brick
Morsels are a pity, but they got that lipstick
DUH has plugs for pain, Mental Health if you’re insane
Drop a triple double at the place called Whitney-Payne

Dwight Hall service, to Yale News Daily
Society Tap, rest in peace Nathan Hal-E
Yale Whale Hockey Rink, and the Rumpus 50 Most
Long live the Old Blue, best Ivy on the east coast is...

CHORUS
New Haven, where memories of a lifetime are made, oh
There’s nowhere you can’t go, Now you’re a bulldog
It’s been 9 years since we enrolled
And even though we’re old, cheer for the Bulldogs
Bulldogs, Bulldogs
(I want Thai Taste, baby!)
