[edit] Lyrics


Verse

Here we come with a toast and song for the college upon the hill
We love her shady slopes and trees its mem'ries cheer and thrill
But fondest thoughts when the years have run
Will be of teams and vict'rys won
Each man a loyal son
Hail! to old O.S.U.

Chorus

OSU, our hats are off to you
Beavers, Beavers, fighters through and through
We'll root for every man, we'll cheer for every stand
That's made for old OSU.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Watch our team go tearing down the field
Men of iron, their strength will never yield.
Hail, hail, hail, hail
Hail to old OSU.
OSU, fight! B-E-A-V-E-R-S!

NOTE: Changed from original "We'll root for every man, we'll cheer for every stand" to
"We'll root for throughout the land, we'll cheer for every plan" sometime in the late 20th century for political correctness
