RUTGERS PREP SCHOOL
(Air—Old Folks at Home)
Down where the Raritan is flowing,
Out to the sea,
There's where my heart's devotion's owing,
There is the school for me.
Famed are her walls in song and story,
Honoured her name,
Her sons unite to sound her glory,
And to uphold her fame.
Out to the sea,
There's where my heart's devotion's owing,
There is the school for me.
Famed are her walls in song and story,
Honoured her name,
Her sons unite to sound her glory,
And to uphold her fame.
Chorus
Rutgers Prep School, Hall of Learning,
Other schools above,
My heart for thee is ever yearning,
True to the school I love.
Other schools above,
My heart for thee is ever yearning,
True to the school I love.
Scarlet and White is waving o'er me,
Floating on high,
Long has that banner gone before me,
Gleaming against the sky.
Proudly its silken folds I cherish
Sacredly pure,
Ne'er shall it's scarlet splendour perish,
Always its white endure.—Chorus.
Floating on high,
Long has that banner gone before me,
Gleaming against the sky.
Proudly its silken folds I cherish
Sacredly pure,
Ne'er shall it's scarlet splendour perish,
Always its white endure.—Chorus.
