Hail to the red and the blue,
We're Mustangs from S.M.U.
Give a cheer,
Show your might,
Get the victory in sight,
For our battle cry will be
FIGHT-FIGHT-FIGHT!
Spirit's the best in the land,
And right to the end we'll stand,
For the M-U-S-T-A-N-G-S,
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

[SMU SID]

Resent to webmaster. Thanks.

Perhaps Morris really IS new-June. June wanted to change mascot, Chad wants to change lyrics

Lyrics very cumbersome. Need something simple, memorable and useable.

I wince at the "spirit's the best in the land" line...that's a pretry high standard that we are nowhere near living up to in FB

Band Spirit's the best in this 100 yard stretch of land.

Small edits, but in my head I've always sung and heard

We're the mustangs from S.M.U

There's a victory in sight

First one is correct, second one is incorrect

There are so many versions from different classes and errant AARO squad leaders. The admin needs to go to the band archives and get the official version. As far as musicality goes, "We're Mustangs from SMU" fits the actual music. Adding a THE adds notes that aren't on the sheet music. For reference, listen to it and sing both versions to see what fits.

Fitting the music would result in changing the last Fight Fight Fight to Fi-i-i-ight Fiiii-iiiight Fight.

I trust what you're saying is true, but after years of singing with THE in the middle, it sounds more awkward without it to me.

Point taken. We'll get this major societal issue resolved, one post at a time.

Someone should dig up the original score
