The Songs of The University of Pennsylvania
The University of Pennsylvania Band March | Roland Seitz (1901)
Thy sons cheer thee now.
To thee, Pennsylvania,
All rivals must bow,
Glorious forever,
Thy colors dear will be
Forever, forever
They’ll wave in Victory.
The Red and Blue | Lyrics by Harry E. Westervelt, ’98

- The Red and Blue Video with Dr. Gutmann
In hall and campus through,
Lift up your hearts and voices
For the Royal Red and Blue
Fair Harvard has her crimson
Old Yale her colors too,
But for dear Pennsylvania
We wear the Red and Blue.
(Refrain) Hurrah, hurrah Pennsylvania!
Hurrah for the Red and the Blue!
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah,
Hurrah for the Red and Blue!
(verses 2-5 omitted)

Put the ball across that line.
Fight you Pennsylvanians!
There it goes across this time.
Red and blue we’re with you
And we’re cheering for your men.
So it’s fight, fight, fight Pennsylvania
Fight on for Penn!
Drink a Highball | Lyrics by G.B. Brigham, 1901
Be good fellows while you may
For tomorrow may bring sorrow
So tonight, lets all be Gay!
Tell the story of Glory
Of Pennsylvania
Drink a highball And be jolly
Here’s a toast to dear old Penn!
Hail Pennsylvania (The Alma Mater of the University of Pennsylvania) | Lyrics by Edgar M. Dilley, 1897
To thee with loyal hearts we raise our song
Swelling to heaven loud our praises ring
Hail Pennsylvania, of thee we sing.
Majesty as a crown rest on thy brow
Pride, honor, glory, love before thee bow.
Ne’er can thy spirit die, thy walls decay
Hail Pennsylvania, of thee we pray.
Hail Pennsylvania, guide of our youth
Lead thou thy children on to light and truth.
Thee when death summons us, others shall praise
Hail Pennsylvania thro’ endless days!
Cheer Pennsylvania | Lyrics by C.W. O’Connor
We’re here to see the Red and Blue score and score
And when we give a resounding ‘Hoorrah, hoorrah’
Ever loyal to old Pennsylvania.
