Harvard has a bunch of pretty standard fight songs. But everyone's favorite fight song is this one (it was written over fifty years ago by Tom Lehrer, who was then teaching math at Harvard but later had a career as a humorist):
1.
Fight fiercely, Harvard!
Fight, fight, fight!
Demonstrate to them our skill!
Albeit they possess the might,
Nonetheless, we have the will.
Fight for Harvard's glorious name
Won't it be peachy if we win the game? (Oh, goody!)
HURL THAT SPHEROID DOWN THE FIELD,
and fight, fight, fight!
2.
Fight fiercely, Harvard!
Fight, fight, fight!
Impress them with our prowess, do!
Come on, chaps -- do not let the Crimson down
Be of stout heart and true.
How we shall celebrate our victory...
We shall invite the whole team up for tea! (How jolly!)
Let's try not to injure them,
But fight, fight, fight (let's not be rough, though)
Fight, fight, fight (and DO fight fiercely)
Fight, fight, fight!
The performance of this song is all about the diction. It's hilarious! I love it when schools poke fun at themselves.
