OU's fight song has roots in the tunes for Yale's old 'Boola Boola' fight song and UNC's 'I'm a Tarheel Born':
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, OK-U!
Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, OK-U!
I'm Sooner born and Sooner bred
And when I die I'll be Sooner dead!
Rah, Oklahoma, rah, Oklahoma,
Rah, Oklahoma... OK-U!
Occasionally we do sing the official state song:
O...klahoma!
Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain,
And the waving wheat, it sure smells sweet,
When the wind comes right behind the plain!
O...klahoma!
Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I,
Sit alone and talk, and watch the hawk
Making lazy circles in the sky!
We know we belong to the land,
And the land we belong to is grand!
So when we say 'Yeow! A-yip-i-yo-i-yay! Yeow!'
We're only saying 'You're doing fine Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A, Oklahoma!
And at the end of football games, win or lose, we sing our Alma Mater:
O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A!
Our chant rolls on and on,
Thousands strong join heart and soul
In Alma Mater's praise!
Oh campus beautiful by day and night,
Of colors proudly gleaming red and white,
'Neath a Western sky, OU's chant will never die,
Live on, University!
Pays to remember pledge knowledge from nearly 20 years ago!
