Fight song

To Romulus High I pledge my loyalty
For it's the ideal place for school, you see.
And when I leave these corridors far behind,
The memories will ever linger in my mind.
When high school days are all but memories,
Of Romulus High, I'll have sweet reveries.
It stands for fair play, square play all the time, all is fine
Romulus High!
FIGHT!
