1. Iowa State Fight Song

   Oh, we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State
   And may her colors ever fly.
   Oh, we will fight with might for Iowa State
   With the will to do or die!
   Rah, Rah, Rah
   Loyal sons forever true
   And we will fight that battle through.
   And when we hit the line we’ll hit it hard,
   every yard for I-S-U!

3. "Phfft! You Were Gone"

   Down here on the farm the weather gets messy
   Laying around with nothin’ to do
   When you went away, you took my cow Bessie
   I miss her darling, more than I miss you

   You took off your leg, your wig and your eye glass
   And you shoud’ve seen the look on my face
   I wanted to kiss, I wanted to hug you
   But you were scattered all over the place

    Chorus:

   Where, where, are you tonight?
   Why did you leave me here all alone?
   I searched the world over,
   And thought I found true love.
   You met another and
   Phht! you were gone.

   I know that you loved me, here’s my way of knowing
   The proofs hanging out right there on the line
   When I see the snow and feel the wind blowing
   Your nighties hugging them long johns of mine

   The noises you made at our supper table
   Your habits, my dear, were surely absurd
   But how many times do I have to tell you
   Soup is a dish to be seen and not heard

    Chorus:

   Where, oh where, are you tonight?
   Why did you leave me here all alone?
   I searched the world over,
   And thought I found true love.
   You met another and
   Phht! you were gone.

   Remember you phoned me a-sobbin’ and cryin’
   The dog bit your maw, and drug her around
   You said she looked pale and thought she was dying
   I said “Don’t worry, I’ll buy a new hound.”

   I had six kids and you had eleven
   And we had a boy, and they grew like flowers
   I wish you’d come back, without you ain’t heaven
   ‘Cause your kids and my kids are beatin’ up ours

    Chorus:

   Where, oh where, are you tonight?
   Why did you leave me here all alone?
   I searched the world over,
   And thought I found true love.
   You met another and
   Phht! you were gone

   I searched the world over,
   And thought I found true love.
   You met another and
   Phht! you were gone…

4. "That’s All Folks” from Looney Tunes

   That’s All Folks!

5. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond

   In addition to its popularity at Iowa State football games, Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” is also sung after big victories in every sport. If you attend a major upset at Hilton Coliseum prepare to belt out “Sweet Caroline” on your way out of the arena.
