Let's Give a Cheer
Lyrics
To the tune of the Notre Dame fight song:
Let's give a cheer for Old Rensselaer,
You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the beer!
Send the freshmen out for gin,
And don't let a sober sophomore in!
We never stumble, we never fall,
We sober up on pure alcohol!
When we yell, we YELL LIKE HELL
For the glory of Rensselaer!
Use
This song is frequently sung by the band after games while cleaning up the stage. The Red Army also enjoys singing it during games just for the hell of it.
