Drink to the Cherry and the White, men,
Symbols we hold so dear.
Drink to her, for whom we'll always fight, men,
Drink to the honor of Rensselaer.
Hail to the men of R.P.I.
Famed in song and story.
Fighting men of R.P.I.
Lead the way to glory,
In song we'll celebrate 'em,
To the sky we'll elevate 'em,
The fighting engineers of Rensselaer!
Chorus:
If you want to meet a ball of fire
A man who sets 'em all afire,
Acclaimed in everything; he'll do or die,
Step up my friends and meet him,
But be careful how you greet him,
He's a fighting engineer from R.P.I.
When he fights he's got ferocity,
He runs with such velocity
No bird you've ever heard of hopes to fly;
Opponents always pale before,
They tremble and they quail before
A fighting engineer of R.P.I.
Where's the man called Superman?
That super dooper man you'll find is but a boy!
Anyone with common sense'll hear
That here in Rensselaer we've got the real McCoy!
For his dear old Alma Mater,
He'll get hot and then get hotter,
'Till the foe will know 'tis woe even to try.
The Cherry and the White will win
The very hottest fight they're in
Because that ball o' fires an engineer;
A fighting engineer from Rensselaer.
Chorus
