Mary Margaret Truman was the daughter of the Prez!
She lives up in the White House with her father, Harry S!
But her ******* I forget this line, it rhymed with the next one*,
She's a Pi Beta Phiiiii,
In 1952 when good ol' Harry got the shoe,
Mary Margaret Truman didn't know just what to do!
She went back to Missouri to open a brewery
And drink to the Pi Beta Phi! MORE BEER!!!!
Carnation, the missing line or lines -- at least the way I learned it (though obviously I'm not a PiPhi, and as I recall I first heard it from members of another sorority, not Pi Phis) -- went:
"But her social rating was not worth debating
For she was a member of Pi Beta Phiiiiii!"
Memories ... beer....
