Cocoa Songs
Recently discovered within the depths of the paint closet are songs about Fourth East's hallowed cocoa tradition dating from around 1990. The following sampling was written by Cocoa Chairs Amy Schneider (ROTC), Amy Martin (Alto), and Amy Lister (Amy-).

O-Say-Can-U-C
Written by Amy-Amy to the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Oh say can you see at the end of the hall
It's Amy (all three!) and it's cocoa we're call-ing
Though we sing out of tune
And we're there none too soon
We call for cocoa
So it's time to stop tool-ing
Everyone gather 'round, and come into the lounge
You can drink with a smile, 'cause you're punting with style!
Oh say can you hear us, we scream and we squeak
(squeak! squeak! squeak!)
From the land of the nerds and the home of the geeks!
Carnation Cocoa
Written by ROTC Amy to the tune of "The Locomotion"
Ev'rybody's coming to the 4th East Lounge now
Come on baby, drink Carnation Cocoa
We know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
Come on baby drink Carnation Cocoa
A little Amy said I can just come and see
It's easier than tooling for 18.03
So come on come on drink Carnation Cocoa with me
You gotta fill your mug now, come on 4th East, drink up, ooh drink up, well we know you got a cup...
Now that you like cocoa let's raise our mugs now
Come on baby drink Carnation Cocoa
Chug it chug it chug it like a can of beer now
Come on baby drink Carnation Cocoa
Drink it nice and easy, now don't burn your mouth
A little bit of water and a lot of cocoa
So come on come on drink Carnation Cocoa with me
Carnation Cocoa
Come on, come on
Carnation Cocoa
Like a Spoon in a Cup of Cocoa
Written by Amy-Amy to the tune of "A Spoon Full of Sugar"
When you're sitting
And dreading class
When school is on your mind
We will rescue you
We're on your side
Oh when classes start
And time just can't be found
Like a spoon in a cup of cocoa
We will cheer you up
Like a spoon in a cup of cocoa
We will cheer you up
When you're tooling tough
When you're on the go
When morning comes too soon
We will talk to you
We'll take the time
Oh, when cocoa comes
'Cause friends are all around
Like a spoon in a cup of cocoa
We will take the time
Lie a spoon in a cup of cocoa
We will take the time
Come on to the lounge
Come on out
No need to fear the term
Leave your troubles in your room
Oh---
When you need a friend
4E is right behind you
Like a spoon in a cup of cocoa
We will ease your mind
Like a spoon in a cup of cocoa
We will ease your mind!
Drinking in the Lounge
Written by ROTC Amy to the tune of "Leaving on a Jet Plane"
Oh my set is due
I'm ready to cry
My brain is glue - I'm starting to snore
I hate to punt again, my grades will fall
But the Amy's calling
The clock bell dongs
Water's boiling
They're singing their song
Already I'm so burned out
I could die
Chorus:
So grab mug and get your spoon
Life is such a long cartoon
I'm drinking in the 4E lou-ounge
I don't know when I will tool again
Oh, slugs, I love to punt
There's so many times I've played around
So many times where punts abound
I tell you now I don't know a thing
Every course I take, I do so bad
Every drink I take, I feel so glad
When I flunk out, mom will be so mad
Chorus
Now the time has come to too-ool
One more shot at this schoo-ool
Don't close your eyes, gotta stay awake
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to tool no more
About the time I'll make so
Chorus
