There is no place like Nebraska
Dear old Nebraska U.
Where the girls are the fairest,
The boys are the squarest,
Of any old school that I knew.
There is no place like Nebraska,
Where they’re all true blue.
We’ll all stick together,
In all kinds of weather,
For Dear old Nebraska U!
Hail Varsity Fight Song

So, on mighty men,
The eyes of the land, upon every hand,
Are looking at you.

Hail to the Men of Nebraska U.

Rally Huskers, show what you can do
Fight! forever, Oh! you team,
For the scarlet and the cream,
Go! Gang Go!

Listen to the battle cry,
Of Nebraska U. N. I.
