Sing Along
You hear of the colleges and of the U's,
Whose students are loyal and true
Of Hamline, St. Thomas and old G.A.C. St. Olaf and Carleton too,—
But there is one in St. Paul, that beats them all,
Far-famed is her good name,—
Now cheer for our Alma Mater—
Rah Rah for Macalester.
Rouser Chorus:
For we are loyal—to dear old Mac,
And college spirit—We never lack—
We always fight to win the game,
In every sport it's just the same
We wave our pennants the gold and blue,
and to these colors—we're ever true;
We proudly give an Oskie Wow-Wow,
For our dear college Macalester.
Cut to Dear Old Macalester:
Dear old Macalester,
Ever the same;
To those whose hearts
Are thrilled by thy dear name.
Cherished by all thy sons,
Loved by all thy daughters,
Hail! hail to thee,
Our college dear.
Repeat Rouser Chorus:
For we are loyal—to dear old Mac,
And college spirit—We never lack—
We always fight to win the game,
In every sport it's just the same
We wave our pennants the gold and blue,
and to these colors—we're ever true;
We proudly give an Oskie Wow-Wow,
For our dear college Macalester.
