LYRICS:
Arise, ye sons of MIT,
in loyal brotherhood:
the future beckons unto ye,
and life is full and good;
Arise, and raise your steins on high,
tonight shall ever be (will be)
a mem'ry that will never die,
ye sons of MIT.

Once more, thy sons of MIT
return from far and wide,
and gather here once more to be
renourished by thy side;
And as we raise our steins on high
to pledge our love for thee (for thee),
we join thy sons of days gone by
in praise of MIT.

O, loyal sons of MIT,
when clouds of war burn red,
in foreign land, on distant sea,
your battle line is spread;
To you we raise our steins on high
wherever you may be (may be)
And join your voices from the sky,
ye sons of MIT.
