Missouri Lyrics

"Our Alma Mater - Old Missouri"

Old Missouri, fair Missouri,
Dear old varsity,
Ours are hearts that fondly love thee,
Here's a health to thee.

[Chorus:]
Proud art thou in classic beauty,
Of thy noble past;
With thy watchwords, Honor, Duty,
Thy high fame shall last.

Every student, man and maiden,
Swells the glad refrain,
Till the breezes music laden,
Waft it back again.
(repeat chorus...)


Every True Son/Daughter (#3)

Every true son, so happy hearted,
Skies above us are blue,
There's a spirit so deep within us,
Old Missouri here's to you (rah rah!);
When the band plays the Tiger war song,
And when the fray is through,
We will tramp, tramp, tramp, around the columns,
With a cheer, for Old Mizzou!


Fight Tigers (#4)

Fight, Tigers, fight for Old Mizzou,
Right behind you, everyone is with you,
Break the line and follow down the field,
And you'll be, on the top, upon the top;
Fight, Tigers, you will always win,
Proudly keep the colors flying skyward,
In the end we'll win the victory,
So Tigers, fight for Old Mizzou!


Give A Cheer For Mizzou's Tigers!
by Carl E. Bolte, Jr. (MU '51, '55)

Give a cheer for Mizzou's Tigers!
We will show 'em how to play.
Give a cheer for Mizzou's Tigers!
And our Tigers will win today.
We've got the team that will never retreat;
We've got the team they can never defeat!
Give a cheer for Mizzou's Tigers!
And our Tigers will win today!
Give a cheer for Mizzou's Tigers!
And our Tigers will win today!
