Georgetown/ George Washington Rivalry
Another cross-town rivalry is the one between the Georgetown Hoyas and the George Washington Colonials. The rivalry between the schools stems more from the proximity of the two schools than for the actual sports teams.

There Goes Old Georgetown
fight song
It’s been so long since last we met
Lie down forever, lie down
Oh, have you any money to bet
Lie down forever, lie down!There goes old…Georgetown
Straight for a…touchdown
See how they…gain ground
Lie down forever, lie down
Lie down forever, lie down!Rah! Rah! Rah!
Hurrah for Georgetown
Cheer for victory today
‘Ere the sun has sunk to rest,
In the cradle of the west
In the clouds will proudly float the Blue and Gray.We’ve heard those loyal fellows up at Yale
Brag and boast about their ‘Boola-Boola’
We’ve heard the Navy yell, we’ve listened to Cornell
We’ve heard the sons of Harvard tell
How Crimson lines could hold them
‘Choo! Choo! Rah! Rah!’, dear to Holy Cross
The proud old Princeton tiger is never at a loss
But the yell of all the yells,
The yell that wins the day
Is the ‘HOYA, HOYA SAXA!’ of the dear old Blue and Gray.(Repeat First Two Verses)
