[edit] Lyrics

The original and best known lyrics:

First Verse

Oh, we're from dear old Wesleyan,

The school to us most dear,

It's the place we love the best,

Finest school in east or west;

So we will hail the name we all revere.

We love our Alma Mater

In everything we take the lead,

Sport and thought and noble deed,

And so for Wesleyan we'll give

Our yell: "Rah! Rah!"

Sport and thought and noble deed,

Chorus

So here's to old Wesleyan,

Loud we will sing!

We'll drink a toast to Wesleyan

From the good old Sulfur Spring,

Then here's to old Wesleyan,

Join every man!

We'll drink a toast

From the Sulfur Spring to Wesleyan!

And so for Wesleyan we'll give

Our yell: "Rah! Rah!"

Sport and thought and noble deed,

Second Verse

Her students all are loyal,

They're for her to the man,

The men are manly, brave and true.

They're the ones to dare

And do-the kind of men

You'll find at Wesleyan;

And then, there are the ladies who

Grow to us most dear;

They're the pride of Monnett,

Sweet and beautiful you can bet,

And now for them we'll give

A hearty cheer, "Rah! Rah!"
