Dear old Carmichaels a toast to you,
Carmichaels, our Alma Mater.
In our hearts we’ll ever think of you,
We are loyal sons and daughters.
Dear golden years passing by,
Oh, how they fly!

We will always sing this song to you,
To the world we’ll tell your story.
We are proud that we belong to you,
As you stand in all your glory.
