FOOTBALL SONG
(Air—Battle Hymn of the Republic)
By Joyce Kilmer
Come all ye Rutgers Prep School men and sing our football song,
And swell the mighty chorus that will help the team along,
Our hearts are true to Rutgers Prep, our voices they are strong,
For we must win the game.
And swell the mighty chorus that will help the team along,
Our hearts are true to Rutgers Prep, our voices they are strong,
For we must win the game.
Chorus
Whoop'er up for Rutgers Prep School,
Whoop'er up for Rutgers Prep School,
Whoop'er up for Rutgers Prep School,
For we must win the game.
Whoop'er up for Rutgers Prep School,
Whoop'er up for Rutgers Prep School,
For we must win the game.
The Prep School fellows take the ball and rush it down the field,
The line before them breaks and runs, they know that they must yield,
And soon we'll score a touchdown and to all 'twill be revealed
That we must win the game.
The line before them breaks and runs, they know that they must yield,
And soon we'll score a touchdown and to all 'twill be revealed
That we must win the game.
Now let us join together in the good old Prep School cheer,
And give it with a hearty will and shout it loud and clear.
Let's make those fellows in the field aware that we are here,
For we must win the game.
And give it with a hearty will and shout it loud and clear.
Let's make those fellows in the field aware that we are here,
For we must win the game.
