Down the field we we swing in perfect trim
Behind the team we’ve played to win
And as we swing we sing a marching song;
And the song we sing is on the theme
Of Lafayette and of Her team.
We’ll swing the Chorus as we swing along.Chorus
On, Lafayette! On Lafayette!
On, on to greater deeds, Lafayette,
Give, Lafayette! Give, Lafayette,

And hope for a vict’ry.

We’ll gather by the twilight’s glow
In front of old Pardee,
In all the world no other scene,
So fair, so dear to me.
O Lafayette, O Lafayette,
To thee our voices raise!
While loyal lips and loyal hearts
Unite to sing thy praise.Chorus
We’ll gather by the twilight’s glow
In front of old Pardee,
In all the world no other scene,
So fair, so dear to me.And future years shall not erase
These gems of mem’ry rare,
But oft we’ll live the scenes again,
Impressed so firmly there.
O Lafayette, O Lafayette,
O joyous college days!
E’re while these loyal hearts shall beat,
We’ve loyal lips to praise.(Repeat Chorus)
