Surely we can find the original words at least

It was written in the 60s by the band, they surely had the original

I know couch 'em is right.

Alright, blue hairs, dust off your folders and find it.

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.

Yes, please go to the Mustang Band archives and get it right this time. Please.

Original was lost in the flood of '93. Then again in the flood of '98. And once more for good measure in the flood of '02.

Did they position the new bandhall library below grade so they can continue the tradition of catastrophic flooding?

The alcohol consumption line is higher than the flood line.

So you drunk yourselves under the water-table?

Original flood was actually '95. A lot of the older stuff was lost. Miraculously, I managed to save the score to Shanty Town from being tossed.

I grew up just clapping to the song. Yes, it has it's own individual clap. Didn't know there were words to it until my roomate from Chicago educated me. That was back in the early 80's. But the clap was before that. It seems less and less people are doing the clap. Not sure about the words, no one in my section at the BBall games participates in singing of it.

Aren't there bigger issues to focus on? We won ONE game last year.
