Lyrics

:Hail to the team,:The stadium rings as everyone sings The Scarlet and Cream.:Cheers for a victory,:Echo our loyalty;

:So, on, mighty men,:The eyes of the land, upon every hand, are looking at you.:Fight on for victory,:Hail to the men of Nebraska U!

Most performances of the song conclude with four chants of "Go Big Red!".
