THEM THAT DONE IT IS KNOWED

They’re flushing cherry bombs down the second floor john

And on the first floor nobody’s having any fun.

The explosion rocked the walls just like a gun.

Never seen such naked skin on the run.

Then they rounded up the janitors and the police

Who pronounced a crime had been committed on this scene

Scoured the room and filled a big valise

Said it’s just a matter of time before we make the squeeze.

(Chorus)

They think they’re smart. They’re think they’ll cool. And mighty bold.

Just like this stupid crap is something to behold

But they’re goin’ down, the law’s in town, they’re gonna fold

’Cause …. Them that done it is knowed.

They’re rolling toilet paper high up in the trees

Them naked freshmen in the woods are about to freeze.

Whose underwear’s out there flappin’ in the breeze?

Got all kinds of contraband that could get seized.

Them juveniles in Feta Thigh blew all the commodes

Wild oats is sure the least of what they sowed

But the cops are drawin’ a circle for what is owed

And the noose is growin’ tighter. They is knowed.

The pop machines are crashing down the stairs

Bubble gum is mucking up the reception chairs

They’re fornicating in sweaty, hot affairs

In bunks and backseats and on the frat house stairs

The general’s bust is puffy with shaving cream

Kappa Alpha’s lion is globbed with gooey green

The alumni tent is floating down the stream.

Sorority girls staggering out to flash the scene.

The dean jumped back, a flaming sack on his stoop

And when he stomped it out it left an awful poop

To such a depth of silly idiocy who could stoop?

To leave us here with this job that needs a scoop?

When we get the proof, we’ll raise their roof, explode

We’re gonna lay on every charge, a heavy load

They can think about the chance that they done blowed

’Cause … them that done it … is knowed.
