Lyrics
While there are five verses to the song, typically only the third and fourth are sung.- I.
- March, men of Rutgers
- Down the field today.
- March to another score,
- Forward to the fray;
- Fight, men of Rutgers
- As in days gone by
- Fight! For the Scarlet Flag over the rest must fly.
- II.
- Keep Rutgers colors to the fore
- For they must win so fight, fight, fight!
- And we'll advance some more to score,
- The Rutgers flag flies high tonight, alright, alright
- We'll fling the Scarlet Banner out,
- And Rutgers men will fight, fight, fight, fight, fight;
- The bells of Queens each victory shout
- The bells of Queens must ring tonight.

- For they must win so fight, fight, fight!
- And we'll advance some more to score,
- The Rutgers flag flies high tonight, alright, alright
- We'll fling the Scarlet Banner out,
- And Rutgers men will fight, fight, fight, fight, fight;
- The bells of Queens each victory shout
- The bells of Queens must ring tonight.
