Cornell Songs
You can listen to all of the Cornell songs (performed by the glee club) here.
Alma Mater
-
Far Above Cayuga's Waters
With its waves of blue,
Stands our noble Alma Mater
Glorious to view.
Lift the chorus, speed it onward,
Loud her praises tell;
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Hail, all hail, Cornell!
Far Above the busy humming
Of the bustling town;
Reared against the arch of Heaven,
Looks she proudly down.
Lift the chorus, speed it onward,
Loud her praises tell;
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Hail, all hail, Cornell!
Give My Regards to Davy
- Give my regards to Davy
Remember me to Tee Fee Crane
Tell all the pikers on the hill
That I'll be back a-I'll be back again!
Tell them just how I busted
For lapping up the high, high balls balls balls balls.
We'll all have drinks
at Theodore Zinks
When I get back next Fall!
My Old Cornell (MyOC)
- Oh, I want to go back to the old days,
Those good old days on the hill
Back to my Cornell
For that's where they all yell
Cornell, I yell, Cornell! (Cornell!)
Far above Cayuga's waters
I hear those chiming bells
Oh, I'm longing and yearning
And always returning
To my old Cornell!
New Cornell Fight Song (NCFS)
- C-O-R-N-E-double-L
Win the game and then ring the bell (ding!)
What's the big intrigue?
We're the best in the Ivy League!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Score the point that puts us ahead
Knock 'em dead, Big Red!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Who are we for?
Can't you tell?
Old Cornell!
(Go Red!)
Evening Song
- When the sun fades far away
In the crimson of the west
And the voices of the day
Murmur low and sink to rest
Music with the twilight falls
O'er the dreaming lake and dell
'Tis an echo from the walls
Of our own, our fair Cornell
Welcome night and welcome rest
Fading music fair thee well
Joy to all we love the best
Love to thee our fair Cornell
Music with the twilight falls
O'er the dreaming lake and dell
'Tis an echo from the walls
Of our own, our fair Cornell
Cornell Victorious
- From blue Cayuga
From hill and dell
Far rings the story of the glory of Cornell!
From east and west the crashing echoes answ'ring call,
"Cornell Victorious; the champions of all."
Cheer! Cheer! Here we are again
To cheer with all our might!
Cheer! Cheer! Here we are again
To cheer for the Red and White
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Cornellian colors we'll defend
Cornell Victorious to the end
We'll hear the echo of our cheer
Oh, here we are! Here we are again!
March On, Cornell
- Onward Cornell, to the top where you belong
Yours is the glory history has made in song
March with your classmates to the heights this honored day
We're proud to be Cornellians, we're behind you come what may
March on, Cornell! While your sons sing out this song
Over the top we lead to glory, Alma Mater must stand strong
March On, Cornell!
Mem'ries far above Cayuga waters
Will cheer our hearts to victory!
March On, Cornell!
Fight for Cornell
- From rocky height, we come to fight,
For the name Cornell has made
And we will cheer, without a fear
That her good name will never fade.
Fight to the end, don't break or bend,
Until our team has won the game;
And fight for might, for right, for Cornell's name
For the glory that brings us fame.
Make all advances, strong and sure today,
Take all the changes fate throws in the way.
Fight for the glory, that is earned so well;
Victory makes history, so fight for Cornell.
The Big Red Team
- See them plunging down to the goal,
See the ruddy banners stream,
Hear the crashing roll,
As we cheer for the Big Red Team.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
(Chorus)
Cheer til the sound wakes the blue hills around
Make the scream of the North wind yield,
To the strength of the yell from the men of Cornell
As the Big Red Team takes the field!
Hey! Hey!
Ten thousand strong we march, march along,
From our home on the grey rock height
Oh the victory is sealed, when the team takes the field
As we cheer for the Red and White!
Where the towers rise o'er the lake
There our fires in the night shall gleam
And the ivy walls shall wake
As we cheer for the Big Red Team.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
(Chorus)
O Canada
- O Canada!
Our home and native land
True patriot love in all thy sons command
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
God keep our land glorious and free
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
The Star Spangled Banner
- Oh, say can you BOOM, CRASH
By the dawn's early BOOM, CRASH
What so proudly we BOOM, CRASH
At the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright BOOM, CRASH
Through the perilous BOOM, CRASH
O'er the ramparts we BOOM, CRASH
Were so gallantly streaming? 3 &
