:"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!"
