LYRICS (also available under closed captioning):
It’s been so long since last we met,
Lie down forever, lie down;
Or have you any money to bet,
Lie down forever, lie down.
There goes old Georgetown,
Straight for a touchdown,
See how they gain ground,
Lie down forever, lie down,
Lie down forever, lie down.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Hurrah for Georgetown,
Cheer for victory today.
’Ere the sun has sunk to rest,
In the cradle of the West,
In the clouds will proudly float
The Blue and Gray.
We’ve heard those loyal fellows up at Yale
Brag and boast about their Boola-Boola.
We’ve heard the Navy yell;
We’ve listened to Cornell;
We’ve heard the sons of Harvard tell
How Crimson lines could hold them.
Choo Choo, Rah Rah, is dear to Holy Cross;
The proud old Princeton tiger
Is never at a loss.
But the yell of all the yells,
The yell that wins the day,
Is the “HOYA, HOYA SAXA!”
For the dear old Blue and Gray.
It’s been so long since last we met,
Lie down forever, lie down;
Or have you any money to bet,
Lie down forever, lie down.
There goes old Georgetown,
Straight for a rebound,
See how they gain ground,
Lie down forever, lie down,
Lie down forever, lie down.

always great to hear the Fight Song especially when the Chimes of my Class of 1967 would come down to the Tombs and get their special mugs down and sing for hours
