Tri Delts, they are the tried and true, tried and true;
Tri Delts, they are the tried and true,
Tri Delts, are the tried and true,
I tried one, how about you?
Glad I’m a boy.
Context:
The informant first heard this song at a slumber party with some of her friends. Back in 1969, girls would typically not tell spooky stories at slumber parties and instead they would sing risqué songs. The informant also said that the girls would never sing this song when males were around.
