Just put her in a corner and hold her tight like this.
Just put your arms around her waist and on her lips a kiss (if she'll let you).
And if she starts to murmur, and if she starts to sigh.
Just tell her it's the sacred seal of old Phi Kappa Psi.

Chorus : Hi, hi, hi, Phi Kappa Psi,
Live, never die, never Phi Kappa Psi,
Hi, hi, hi, Phi Kappa Psi,
Live, never die, never Phi Kappa Psi.

I put her in a corner and held her tight like this.
I put my arms around her waist and on her lips a kiss (and she let me).
She didn’t start to murmur, she didn't start to sigh.
And now we have a legacy to old Phi Kappa Psi.

Collected from Linda Rethmeyer, Alpha Xi Delta sorority at Indiana University,
December 8, 1963. When sung on formal or "proper" occasions, the second verse
is omitted. Linda said that the song is known by many sororities on the Indiana
University campus.

The tune for "Just put her in a corner" is very similar to "'Twas Only an Old Beer Bottle / Sing a Song of Cities".
