Husky Fight Song Contest- Marchelle C.

BECU & 950 KJR Present the Husky Fight Song Contest. Here is my original entry.

"Bow Down to Washington"
University of Washington Fight Song

Bow Down to Washington,
Bow Down to Washington.
Mighty are the men who wear the Purple and the Gold,
Joyfully we welcome them within the Victor's fold.
We will carve our name in the Hall of Fame,
To preserve the memory of our Devotion.

Chorus
So, heaven help the foes of Washington,
They're trembling at the feet of mighty Washington.
Our boys are there with bells,
Their fighting blood excells,
It's harder to push them over the lines than pass the Dardanelles.
So Victory's the cry of Washington
Our leather lungs together with a Rah! Rah! Rah!
And o'er the land, the loyal band**
Will sing the glory of Washington forever!



* The 1943 lyrics quoted the phrase
as "joyous band" rather than "loyal band".
Most everyone who sings Bow Down today
sings the words "loyal band",
but in the words listed in the game day program,
the word "joyous" still appears.
(see note **)

** As has been noted by many,
there was no official
Husky Marching Band in 1913,
when Bow Down was written.
The meaning of "band" has changed from
the group of fans that roots the team on,
to the official UW Husky Marching Band.
