Constance Fry?

I found this little snippet hanging around the web. The entire lyrics to the Constance Fry used in the movie. Though only the first four and last seven lines was heard on screen. So, I guess it's from the script to the film.
But read that text and tell me now it's not about doing the nasty? It's just because the lyrics are juxtaposed with that preppy Ivy League setting the meaning of the words don't make it through. Because the audience simply can't believe what they hear. And that's why it's so funny, and that's why it's such a fantastic little gem of a scene. Those guys, singing about doing those girls. And Constance Fry in particular.
CONSTANCE FRY
Tune: Aura Lee/Love me tender (or very similar)
Zeta Chi, Zeta Chi,Zeta Chi my friend;
'neath the elms we sing our tones
We're brothers to the end.
We like Sigma kappa girls
They're our number ones.
Bobby sox and lovely curls,
And such lovely 'buns'.
Lovely buns, lovely buns, Held so firm and high.
If you're thinking doughy buns,
You're not Zeta chi.
Some want their girls full of zest,
Some like breasts and thighs.
I like rounded curves the best,
Just like Constance Fry's.
Constance Fry, Constance Fry, Full of Rubens' charms.
Smile to cheer me, softly sigh,
Take me in your arms.
Muffy in the bathroom stall,
Margaret by the lake.
Susan down in Whitley Hall,
Constance on the make.
Constance Fry, Constance Fry, anytime you call.
Constance would fulfil, your needs
Winter, Spring or Fall. -

I don't know if this is what the guy who got deleted said, but I say it's about ****ing, or want to ****, at Harvard!
The original tune is called "Aura Lee." Get it? Run it over your tongue a few times and you will! -

I'm so sorry to disappoint you, but only the lines used in the film Trading Places are 'genuine'.
I posted the '
full thing
' on the Mudcat website making clear that I just thought that the song needed a fuller treatment. All the other lines are purely mine, though I have no objections to others singing them.

Movies just don't have scenes like that anymore. The plot just stops for that bit of great humour about no one important to the story.
