Here are the lyrics to some of the most popular Princeton tunes. There are a lot of other Princeton songs (and even more verses to some of the tunes below), but the lyrics below are what you hear most often. Recordings of all of these are also available. The Princeton Cannon SongIn Princeton town we've got a team
that knows the way to play. With Princeton spirit back of them, they're sure to win the day. With cheers and song we'll rally 'round the cannon as of yore, And Nassau's walls will echo with the Princeton Tiger's roar: (And then we'll) Crash through that line of blue, and send the back on 'round the end! Fight, fight for ev'ry yard, Princeton's honor to defend. Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Tiger sis boom ah! And locomotives by the score! For we'll fight with a vim that is dead sure to win, for Old Nassau. Going Back to Nassau HallWhen the sons of Princeton
gather anywhere, There's a place they think of, longing to be there. It's the one and only university, Situated and celebrated in New Jersee. Chorus Going back, going back, going back to Nassau Hall. Going back, going back, to the best old place of all. Going back, going back, from all this earthly ball. We'll clear the track as we go back, going back to Nassau Hall. Let's go back to Princeton at commencement time, Sample each reunion: that's the life for mine! Ramble round the campus, full of jollity, Our location for celebration is New Jersee. (Repeat chorus) They are great at football down in Princeton town, And likewise in baseball they have won reknown. Soon we'll see them winning one more victory. And bonfires burning when we're returning to New Jersee. (Repeat chorus)
Princeton, Forward MarchCome, fall in line, we're all in line for Princeton,
to show we're true to team and crew. We'll march along with cheer and song for Princeton, to show we're loyal through and through. Ready Nassau Hall, hear that battle call: Princeton, forward march! Yea! Princeton, forward march to victory, Princeton, lead the way. Princeton, forward march to victory, this is the tiger's day. Yea! Princeton, forward march to victory, fight with brain and brawn, We'll leave old Eli trailing in the dust, as we go marching on. The Orange and the BlackAlthough Yale has always favored
the violet's dark blue, And the many sons of Harvard to the crimson rose are true, We will own the lilies slender, nor honor show they lack, While the Tiger stands defender of the Orange and the Black. We will own the lilies slender, nor honor shall they lack, While the Tiger stands defender of the Orange and the Black. The Princeton University Band MarchOh here we come,
the Princeton Band Playing songs of old Nassau. That old refrain, will sound again and you will hear the Tiger roar. Roar! The slide trombone, and saxophone and the bass drum sounding grand. With a boom boom boom, and a zoom zoom zoom. When you hear the Princeton Band. The Princeton Stadium SongPrinceton will rule the stadium,
Nassau will win the fight. Over the line we will push to score Bright Princeton stars will shine here tonight. So we will sing out our cheers for Princeton. Triumph will come once more. Hoist the banners to the skies the Nassau team will win the prize So let the Tiger roar.
Here Comes That TigerOh Boy! Oh Boy!
Here comes that Tiger, Wow! He's running wild, They'll never stop him now! He'll prowl around and then let out a roar When eleven Princeton football players start to score. He likes to play in any game that's tough And lead the way to where the going's rough. What is the one team that always wears the crown? It's that Royal Bengal Tiger down in Princeton town!
Old NassauTune every heart and every voice,
bid every care withdraw; Let all with one accord rejoice, in praise of Old Nassau. In praise of Old Nassau we sing, Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! Our hearts will give while we shall live, three cheers for Old Nassau. |
