Melody of University of Wisconsin-Madison's On, Wisconsin

On, you Eagles! On, you Eagles!
 Soaring to new heights!
 Run the ball around them all
 A victory's sure tonight! (Rah rah rah!)
 On, you Eagles! On, you Eagles!
 Fighting for your fame
 Fight! Eagles! - fight, fight, fight!
 And win this game!
