DISCLAIMER

''This is a COMPLETE listing of all Sweyolakan songs. Some of these songs are no longer sung at Sweyolakan - having been retired for various reasons - typically due to being socially insensitive, inconsiderate, or inappropriate.''

These songs are included because they are a part of our history, and being aware of them - and what makes them inappropriate - allows us to have a healthy discussion about where we've come from and how we can move forward.

The lyrics to these songs will be included uncensored, but hidden behind a spoiler and with a complete listing of trigger warnings, content warnings, and discussion of what makes them inappropriate.

Song Title
This is a list of all song titles. If one is an alternate version it will be indicated in parentheses.

Unit
This column should only be used if a song was written specifically for a certain Unit. Song written by a unit, such as Gypsy Songs, should be indicated in the Gypsy column, not the Unit column.

Have Lyrics
This column is to indicate if we have the lyrics for a song. Songs without Lyrics are part of an ongoing attempt to complete this list.

Meals
This column is used to indicate if a song should be included in the "Breakfast and Lunch" or "Dinner" dining hall song books.

Gypsy
If a song was written for Gypsy Week, then this column should be used to indicate the Unit that wrote it.

Have Music
A Yes in this column indicates that we have Sheet Music (for Buglers, guitars, or other) for the song.

Year, Author
These columns will indicate, if known, the author of a song, and/or the year it was written.

Additional Info
Feel free to add liberally to this column, but information such as whether a song has been retired, changed, or updated (especially for politically and socially insensitive or inappropriate lyrics) should be listed first in this area.
