As I go traveling down life's highway
Whatever course my fortunes may foretell
I shall not go alone on my way
For thou shalt always be with me, Rydell
When I see crests from worldly matters
In palace or in hovel I may dwell
And though may my bed be silk or tatters
My dreams shall always be of thee, Rydell
Through all the years, Rydell, and tears, Rydell
We give three cheers, Rydell, for thee
Through everything, Rydell, we cling, Rydell
And sing, Rydell, to thee
Thank you, and welcome to the reunion
Of Rydell High's graduating class of 1959
Looking over these faces really takes me back
To those wonderful bygone days
Although I notice a small portion of alumni missing this evening
I'm sure that they'd want us to know
That they're fully present and accounted for in spirit
Just the way we always remember them
I saw a dead skunk on the highway
And I was going crazy from the smell
'Cause when the wind was blowing my way
It smelled just like the hulk of old Rydell
And if you gotta use the toilet
And later on you start to scratch like hell
Take off your underwear and boil it
'Cause you got memories of old Rydell
I can't explain Rydell, this pain, Rydell
Is it ptomaine Rydell gave me?
Is it BD, Rydell? Could be, Rydell
You oughta see the faculty!
If Mr. Clean, Rydell, had seen Rydell
He'd just green and disappear
I'm outta luck, Rydell
Dead duck, Rydell
I'm stuck, Rydell, right here
