Sing Your Fight Song

Johnny Dickshot Sep 06 2006 07:45 AM

as suggested often by mfs62. I'm not into skool spirit or nothing, but my kollege fite song rocks so hard it makes me wanna fight. It goes like this: ]And then we'll fight! fight! fight! for Delaware, Fight for the Blue and Gold! And when we hit that line, Our team is there with a daring spirit bold! And when we strike with might Let foes beware Our glorious name we'll uphold And then we'll fight! fight! fight! for Delaware, Fight for the Blue and Gold! Delaware will shine to-night, Delaware will shine. When the sun goes down and the moon comes up, Delaware will shine. And then we'll fight! fight! fight! for Delaware...

(Blushing) - I never knew we had one. That's what happens when you don't have a football team and marching band. All we ever used was the "Alagaroo" cheer at basketball games. But here it is anyhow. I had to look it up. ] C.C.N.Y. See the battle through! Oh, can't you see, C.C.N.Y. We're always all for you. Valiant men of Lavender and Black, We'll send you forth to battle, And we'll always bring you back. Keep courage, men, the battle's just begun, So fight! Fight! Fight! until we've won! C.C.N.Y. skies are turning blue, Get in and fight for we're all for you. Some day they're gonna get it from C.C.N.Y. 'N why not, Right now. Some day they're gonna take it from C.C.N.Y. 'N why not, Right now. The Beavers are busy, But the foe will be busier. We'll toss 'em around and around and around Till they can't be any dizzier. They're gonna get it, They've gotta take it, 'Cause we're gonna give it right now. And now you know why it isn't too familiar, even to grads. Later

]When the bold, teams of old Wore the Blue and White, Deeds of fame, made their name, Here at old Columbia. Nowadays we can praise Fighting teams again. Hear the lion roar in pride, While the men of Morningside Follow the Blue and White to Vict'ry... Roar, Lion, Roar And wake the echoes of the Hudson Valley! Fight on to victory evermore, While the sons of Knickerbocker rally round Columbia! Columbia! Shouting her name forever! Roar, Lion, Roar For Alma Mater on the Hudson Shore!

]Though memory fades and friends be few, we'll love thee still, our alma mater, our dear old NYU. Isn't that uplifting?

Chorus: Keep Rutgers colors to the fore, For they must win so fight, fight, fight! And we'll advance some more to score, The Rutgers flag flies high tonight, alright, alright. We'll fling the Scarlet banner out, And Rutgers men will fight, fight, fight! The bells of Queens each victr'y shout, The bells of Queens must ring tonight. R! U! RAH! RAH! R! U! RAH! RAH! RAH!

"Down the Field" Out upon the gridiron stands old Syracuse, Warriors clad in orange and in blue, Fighting for the fame of Alma Mater. Soon those Crouse chimes will be ringing, Soon you'll hear those fellows singing. Onondaga's braves are out to win today, The sons of Syracuse are ready for the fray, The line holds like a wall and now the Orange has the ball, So ready for that old long yell. Rah! Rah! Rah! Chorus: Down, Down the field goes old Syracuse, Just see those backs hit the line and go thru'; Down, down the field they go marching, Fighting for the Orange staunch and true. Rah! Rah! Rah! Vict'ry's in sight for old Syr-a-cuse, Each loyal son knows she ne'er more will lose, For we'll fight, yes, we'll fight, and with all our might For the glory of old Syracuse.

I don't think Manhattan had one, but we invented the seventh-inniing stretch. Maybe I'll write one.

Tonight I'm going To New York City The place I'll call my home And tonight I'm going Where the climate's shitty Where I won't feel so alone And I will build it Up right from the ground With my own bare hands Until the sun doth set On the silhouette Of this broken promise land Tonight I'm leaving For Old Manhattan The place where I was born And I will fight for hope Like a peaceful baron With Broadway lights forlorn And as the buildings weep I will not sleep Until I dry their tears And I will not rest 'Til east and west Side thunder with the cheers For the land we hold so dear I'll build it up Right from the ground With my own bare hands 'Til the sun doth set On the silhouette Of this broken promise land

I never thought we had a fight song, being a more academically-oriented instution (translation: our athletic teams tend to suck). I would think a literal William & Mary Fight Song would be sung by men wearing bowler hats and orange sashes. Anyhow, according to a Google search, the fight song for the College of William & Mary is nice and racist, probably explaining why I never heard it: "Tribe Fight Song" Oh, we will fight fight fight for the Indians When the Big Green team appears. We will yell like hell for the Indians And they will heed our mighty cheers. We will lead our team on to victory And give a shout for the Indians bold We'll have a Touchdown, Touchdown, Indians! And raise the Green and Gold! Now, William & Mary students do sing and sing often, and these are the songs we sing, even if they're not fighting words: Alma Mater 1. Hark the students' voices swelling, Strong and true and clear, Alma Mater's love they're telling, Ringing far and near. [Chorus] 2. All thy sons are faithful to thee, Through their college days, Singing loud from hearts that love thee, Alma Mater's praise. [Chorus] 3. Iron shod or golden sandaled, Shall the years go by, Still our hearts shall weave about thee, Love that cannot die. [Chorus] 4. God, our Father, hear our voices, Listen to our cry, Bless the college of our fathers, Let her never die. [Chorus] Chorus William and Mary loved of old, Hark upon the gale, Hear the thunder of our chorus, Alma Mater hail! AND William and Mary Hymn 1. Beneath thy trees, within thy halls Dear college we give praise to thee To pledge ourselves, what-e'er befalls To pledge unfailing loyalty Our hearts are with thee, dear William and Mary However far we stray Our noble college, hear us now Thy children sing to thee today 2. Dear college old in years and fame And richly old in honors too Time shall not dull the shining name Whose gleam our songs will e'er renew And as years go by, dear William and Mary Thy fame will never cease But each new year rejoice to see Thy children's praise to thee increase 3. We honor thee, not for our gain But to make known thy majesty Thy truth and courage that remain However harsh the fates may be As through troublous years, dear William and Mary Our country fought so thou hast fought And won, and lived, and lived to hear Thy children singing to thee now 4. O thou our guardian and our guide Renew our courage ev'ry hour And keep thy spirit by our side To aid us with its watchful power Throughout all our lives, dear William and Mary We pledge our loyalty Dear college now and ever-more Thy children cry "All hail to thee!" Of course, few if any students - including the choir - actually know all the words. Prior to the Tercentenary Celebration of 1993 these two songs were sung by the choir over and over for about an hour. The tunes are eternally burned upon my brain.

The official alma mater from my undergrad school: Shine the sun down on her halls of wisdom, where memories linger and our thoughts remain. Sing her praises out across the valley, that echoes our refrain: Geneseo! Geneseo! Send us on our way Geneseo! Geneseo! With our life's work we'll repay. The alma mater from my current employer: Sandy shore meeting the northern sea Ancient ground where newborn dreams arise Scarlet, gray, under azure skies The morning of a lifetime lies in Stony Brook Raise a grateful cheer for Stony Brook Youthful joys, youthful folly, too Ancient wisdom seen through youthful eyes Lifelong friends bound by youthful ties The morning of a lifetime lies in Stony Brook Raise a grateful cheer for Stony Brook!

alma mater's are boring hymns. I want FIGHT songs, dammit.

Hey, we wanted a fight song too, but we were a small D-III liberal arts college.

Albeit they possess the might, Nonetheless we have the will. How we will celebrate our victory, We shall invite the whole team up for tea. (How jolly!) Hurl that spheroid down the field, And fight, fight, fight! Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight! Impress them with our prowess, do! Oh, fellas, do not let the crimson down, Be of stout heart and true. Come on, chaps, fight for Harvard's glorious name! Won't it be peachy if we win the game? (Oh, goody!) Let's try not to injure them, But fight, fight, fight! Let's not be rough, though! Fight, fight, fight! And do fight fiercely! Fight, fight, fight! Later

Mine's the shortest, but has the most swear words. ]Auburn "War Damn Eagle!" War... Eagle, fly down the field. Ever to conquer, never to yield. War... Eagle, fearless and true. Fight on, you orange and blue. Go! Go! Go! On to vict'ry, strike up the band. Give 'em hell, give 'em hell; Stand up and yell, Hey! War...Eagle win for Auburn, Power of Dixie Land!

Now I have to pay Paul McCartney...... Rally sons of Notre Dame, Sing her glory, and sound her fame Raise her Gold and Blue, And cheer with voices true, Rah! Rah! For Notre Dame. (HOO RAH RAH!) We will fight in every game Strong of heart and true to her name. We will ne'er forget her And we'll cheer her ever, Loyal to Notre Dame. Chorus: Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame Wake up the echoes cheering her name, Send the volley cheer on high, Shake down the thunder from the sky, What though the odds be great or small Old Notre Dame will win over all, While her loyal sons are marching Onward to Victory.
