Lyrics
  • A youth resolved to go to college / But knew not where to go
  • Hail, Hail the gang's all here / What the H___ do we care
  • Who the H___ are you? Who the H___ are you?
  • I'd like to be a friend of yours, uh hm, and a little bit more / I'd like to be a pal of your, uh hm, and a little bit more
  • I wish that my room had a floor / I don't care so much for a door
  • While the organ peeled potatoes, / Lard was rendered by the choir
  • 'Neath the crust of the old apple pie / There is something for you and I
  • Now down the stret we go / In a busted Ford coupe
  • Hail! Pennsylvanie! Noble and strong / To thee with loyal hearts, We raise our song
  • On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin! / Plunge right through that line!
  • To your call once more we rally / Alma Mater, hear our praise
  • O Dad of mine / O Dad of mine
  • Come and join in song together / Shout with might and main
  • Minnesota hail to thee! / Hail to thee our college dear!
  • Sing to the colors that float in the light / Huraah for the Yellow and Blue!
  • We're from I-O-WAY, I-O-WAY, / Oh, it's simply grand in that fine old land
  • Ohio, my love for thee / Over-flows my heart and soul
  • Go U Northwestern, / Break right thru that line
  • Wave the flag of old Chicago / Maroon the color grand
  • What's the matter with father? / He's alright!
  • "Don't send my boy to Harvard" / A dying mother said
  • My girl's an Indian true / She goes to Illinois "U"
  • You meet her on the campus / You meet her in the hall
  • By thy rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois
  • Standing in our stadium are all Illini true / Singing to our fighting men: "We built this just for you!"
  • Hail Alma Mater, cheer our varsity
  • There's a sound in my ear, / It's a cheer, it's a cheer and I hear it all the time
  • Old Princeton yells her tiger, / Wisconsin her varsity
  • We're loyal to you, Illinois, / We're "Orange and Blue," Illinois
  • Hail to the Orange, / Hail to the Blue
