Fight fiercely, harvard,

Fight, fight, fight!

Fight fiercely, harvard,

Fight, fight, fight!

Impress them with our prowess, do!

Oh, fellows, do not let the crimson down,

Be of stout heart and thru.

Come on, chaps, fight for harvard's glorious name,

Won't it be peachy if we win the game?

(oh, goody!)

Let's try not to injure them, but

Fight, fight, fight!

And do fight fiercely!

Fight, fight, fight!
