Saint Mary Fight Song
Oh, When the Saint Mary Vikings come on the floor!
We're going to show everyone that we can score!
We're going to fight, fight, fight for Saint Mary High!
We're going to raise that score high up into the sky,
and when you see those colors gold and blue,
it is a sign that we are coming through!
We're going to knock you guys out on the floor out the door,
Saint Mary High. Hey!
