Full Lyrics

 * All hail to S.C.U.
 * Honor her prestige and fame,
 * Oh! hold high those standards
 * As we go into the game.

(Chorus)


 * Varsity fight for Santa Clara
 * Banners of red and white on high
 * No matter how great your foe men [team],
 * Let your motto be "to do or die."
 * Rah! Rah! Varsity men [team],
 * We are cheering for you,
 * Our gallant heroes, sturdy, staunch and true
 * Remember the right and might of Red and White
 * When Santa Clara warriors fight,
 * For Victory, and our dear old S.C.U.


 * Then U. fight! fight! for the Alma Mater we love,
 * oh fight! fight! and strength shall come from above,
 * We now acclaim your fame,
 * Rah! Rah! Rah!


 * Come join our happy throng,
 * Oh make the welkin resound,
 * Help build to tradition,
 * That S.C.U. men [team] ne'er give ground.

(Repeat Chorus)


 * While Hamilton stands guard,
 * Over thy rich, fertile vale,
 * Belov'd Alma Mater,
 * Teach no word akin to fail.

(Repeat Chorus)
