[edit] Lyrics

Fight, fight, fight for Washington State! Win the victory!
Win the day for Crimson and Gray! Best in the West, we know you'll all do your best, so
On, on, on, on! Fight to the end! Honor and Glory you must win! So
Fight, fight, fight for Washington State and victory!

[edit] Trivia

The song appears in the 1985 film Volunteers, sung by John Candy's character Tom Tuttle, and later used as a war cry by the local villagers.
