Words of the College Song
The following song is the only one
submitted in the college song contest
announced by the Battalion. Original
music was written to suit it and the
music is now in the hands of the band.
The corps may be called together for
the purpose of learning this song any
night in the next few days.
Texas A. and M.
Come, fellows, gather round.
Let’s sing a song of praise
For Texas A. and M.,
Scene of our college days.
In football we’re the best,
In South or in the West;
On this we’ve won our fame
From Texas up to Maine.
Chorus:
Our college “pep” we never lose,
Tho’ even in defeat;
Cadets we are and brothers still,
Wherever we may meet.
Our military fame
Has spread o’er all the land;
A joy it is to see
Us marching by the hand.
When we to Dallas go.
Our prowess there to show,
We know we’ll meet that day
With charming C. I. A.
I am not prone to heart attacks
But it fills my heart with pain,
And I’d like to kick the brainless mick
Who calls a girl a “jane.”
Jim—“What is the most nervous
thing you know, next to a girl?”
Phil—“ Me, next to a girl.”
