Be True to Your School
Celebrate Your Alma Mater: Be True to Your School Spirit!
Lyrics
When some loud braggart tries to put me down
Addressing someone who boasts about their school negatively.
And says his school is great
Challenging the person by claiming the speaker's school is superior.
I tell him right away
Immediately asserting the excellence of the speaker's school.
Now what's the matter buddy
Asking the braggart what's wrong or why they are dismissing the speaker's school.
Ain't you heard of my school
Expressing surprise that the braggart is unaware of the speaker's top-ranked school.
It's number one in the state (Hey, hey! Take it away! Get that ball and fight!)
Boasting about the school's top-ranking status in the state and urging action (playing sports).
So be true to your school now
Encouraging loyalty and allegiance to one's school.
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Drawing a parallel between loyalty to school and loyalty in relationships.
Be true to your school now
Reiterating the importance of loyalty to one's school.
And let your colors fly
Encouraging the display of school colors as a symbol of pride.
Be true to your school
Repeating the call to be true to your school.
I got a letterman's sweater
Describing the possession of a letterman's sweater.
With a letter in front
Highlighting the letter on the sweater related to achievements in sports.
I got for footbal and track
Mentioning participation in football and track.
I'm proud to where it now
Expressing pride in wearing the letterman's sweater.
When I cruise around
Indicating movement around the town while wearing the letterman's sweater.
The other parts of the town
Referring to other areas of the town.
I got a decal in back
Mentioning a decal on the back, possibly representing school pride.
So be true to your school now
Reiterating the call to be true to your school.
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Reemphasizing loyalty to one's school.
Be true to your school now
Encouraging the display of school colors as a symbol of pride.
And let your colors fly
Repeating the call to be true to your school.
Be true to your school (Do it again, do again, we like it, we like it)
Repeating the call to be true to your school enthusiastically.
Come Friday we'll be jacked up on the football game
Anticipating excitement and enthusiasm for the upcoming football game on Friday.
And I'll be ready to fight
Expressing readiness to engage in spirited support and possibly physical confrontation.
We're gonna smash 'em now
Expressing determination to defeat the opponent.
My girl will be working on her pom-poms now
Mentioning the speaker's girl preparing for cheerleading with pom-poms.
And she'll be yelling tonight
Anticipating vocal support from the girl during the game.
So be true to your school now
Reiterating the call to be true to your school.
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Reemphasizing loyalty to one's school.
Be true to your school now
Encouraging the display of school colors as a symbol of pride.
And let your colors fly
Repeating the call to be true to your school.
Be true to your school (Push them back, push them back)
Repeating the call to be true to your school with additional cheering.
Rah rah rah be true to your school
Adding cheerleading chants to reinforce the message of loyalty to the school.
Rah rah rah be true to your school
Continuing cheerleading chants for loyalty to the school.
Rah rah rah be true to your school
Further cheerleading chants emphasizing loyalty to the school.
Rah rah rah be true to your school
