Fight Songs of the
ACC
Clemson
"Tiger Rag"
Long ago way down in the jungle, someone got an inspiration for a tune.
And that jingle came from the jungle became famous mighty soon.
Thrills and chills it sends through you! Hot, so hot, it burns you too!
Though it's just the growl of the Tiger, it was written in a syncopated way.
More and more, they yell for the Tiger!
Everywhere you go today, they're shoutin':
"Where's that Tiger? Where's that Tiger?
Where's that Tiger? Where's that Tiger?
Hold that Tiger! Hold that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger!" C-L-E-M-S-O...N!
Duke
"Fight Blue Devils"
Fight, fight, Blue Devils! Fight for Duke and the blue and white!
March on through, for the touchdown's there for you.
Go get 'em! Duke is out to win today. Carolina, go to hell!*
So turn on the steam, team! Fight, Blue Devils, fight!
(clap clap clap)Go! (clap clap clap) Go!
Rip 'em up, tear 'em up! Give 'em hell, Duke!
(clap clap clap)Go! (clap clap clap)Go!
Rip 'em up, tear 'em up! Give 'em hell, Duke!
(clap clap clap)Go! (clap clap clap)Go!
Rip 'em up, tear 'em up! Give 'em hell, Duke!
* Officially, it's "Carolina, goodnight!" But I've never heard it sung at all.
"Blue and White"
Duke, we thy anthems raise for all thy praises untold!
We'll sing for the blue and white whose colors we unfold.
Firm stands her line of blue, for they are loyal through and through,
fighting with the spirit true all for the love of old DU!
Fight, we'll fight with all our strength and might (Hey!)!
Win we can, so here we give a hand (Hey!)!
Rah-rah-rah-rah! D-U-K-E, rah!

For FSU is on the warpath now, and at the battle's end she's great.
So fight, fight, fight for victory, the Seminoles of Florida State!
F-L-O-R-I-D-A . . . S-T-A-T-E!
Florida State, Florida State, Florida State! Wooooooo!!
You got to fight, fight, fight for FSU! You got to scalp 'em, Seminoles!
You got to win, win, win, win this game. Roll on down to make those goals!
For FSU is on the warpath now, and at the battle's end she's great.
So fight, fight, fight for victory, the Seminoles of Florida State!
Georgia Tech
"Ramblin' Wreck"
I'm a ramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer.
A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of an engineer.
Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.
I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer!
Oh, if I had a daughter, sir, I'd dress her in white and gold.
I'd put her on the campus to cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir, I'll tell you what he'd do.
He would yell, "To hell with Georgia!" like his daddy used to do.
Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum and sugar, three thousand pounds,
a college bell to put it in and a clapper to stir it 'round.
I'd drink to all the good fellows who'd come from far and near,
'cause I'm a ramblin', gamblin', hell of an engineer! Hey!
"Up With the White and Gold"
Oh, well, it's . . .up with the white and gold!
Down with the red and black!
Georgia Tech is out for a victory.
We'll drop our battle axe on Georgia's head (chop!).
When we meet, her our team will surely beat her.
Down on old Georgia's farm there'll be no sound
when our bow wows rip through the air.
When the battle is over Georgia's team will be found
with the Yellow Jackets swarming 'round!
Maryland
"Victory Song"
Maryland, we're all behind you! Raise high the black and gold!
For there is nothing half so glorious as to see our team victorious.
We've got the team, boys! We've got the steam, boys!
So keep on fighting, don't give in. M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D!
Maryland will win!
North Carolina
"I'm a Tar Heel Born"
I'm a Tar Heel born, I'm a Tar Heel bred.
And when I die, I'm a Tar Heel dead!
So it's rah-rah, Carolina-lina! Rah-rah, Carolina-lina!
Rah-rah, Carolina-lina--go to hell, State (Duke or Wake)!*
* Officially, the last line is "Rah-rah-rah!" But these lyrics are almost never sung.
"Here Comes Carolina"
Here comes Carolina-lina, here comes Carolina-lina!
We hail from NCU.
We've got the team to win it, we've got the spirit in it!
We wear the colors white and blue!
So it's fight, fight, fight for Carolina as Davie did in the days of old.
As we rally 'round the Well, cheer that Tar Heel team like hell
for the glory of NCU!
North Carolina State
Fight Song
Shout aloud to the men who will play the game to win,
"We're behind you! Keep fighting for State!"
Hold that line, hold 'em fast. We'll reach victory atlast.
We're behind you! Keep fighting for State!
Rise up to the fray and let your colors wave.
Shout out for dear old NC State (Go State!)!
And where'er we go, we'll let the whole world know--
we're behind you! Keep fighting for State!
"The Red and White from State"
We're the red and white from State and we know we are the best.
A hand behind our back, we can take on all the rest.
Go to hell, Carolina!* Devils and Deacs, stand in line.
The red and white from NC State(Go State!)!
*Officially, the words are "Come over the hill, Caroline." But I've always heard this version sung.
Virginia
"Cav Song"
"The Good Old Song"
That good old song of Wahoowah, we'll sing it o'er and o'er!
It cheers our hearts and warms our blood to hear them shout and roar.
We come from old Virginia, where all is bright and gay.
Let's all join hands and give a yell for the dear old UVa!
(shouted)Wahoowah, Wahoowah, Uni-v, Virginia!
Hoorahray, hoorahray, ray, ray--UVa!
Wake Forest
"O, Here's to Wake Forest"
O, here's to Wake Forest!
A glass of the finest red ruddy rhenish filled up to the brim.
Her sons, they are many--unrivaled by any!
With hearts o'erflowing, we will sing a hymn.
Rah-rah! Wake Forest, rah (Go Deacs!)! Old Alma Mater's sons are we.
We'll herald the story and die for her glory.
Old gold and black is ever waving high!
As frosh, we adore her!
As sophs, we explore her and carve our names upon her ancient walls.
As juniors, patrol her. As seniors extol her
and weep to leave for'er her sacred halls.
Rah-rah! Wake Forest, rah (Go Deacs!)! Old Alma Mater's sons are we.
We'll herald the story and die for her glory.
Old gold and black is ever waving high!
