History

The fight song was the creation of Charles Borrelli and Roger Courtland as credited in various editions of Eagles programs from 1960.

The original first verse of the song was "Fight Eagles Fight" which was again repeated in the second verse. The lyrics of the first verse were changed to "Fly Eagles Fly" at a later date.
