According to Tom Lehrer, it's HCKCPW, which are (or at least were, at the time he attended college) the initial letters of the Boston Subway subway stations from Harvard to central Boston (Harvard-Central-Kendall/MIT-Charles/MGH-Park-Washington).

Today this would be a segment of the Red Line, except that Washington is now called "Downtown Crossing".

If you'd like to know the lyrics to the whole song, you could just search for the first line "H is for my alma mater Harvard." The tune is the same as "Mother" ("M is for the many things she gave me").
