1. Rutgers University Scarlet Knights Fight Song

   March, men of Rutgers
   Down the field today.
   March to another score,
   Forward to the fray;
   Fight, men of Rutgers
   As in days gone by
   Fight! For the Scarlet Flag over the rest must fly.

   Keep Rutgers colors to the fore
   For they must win so fight, fight, fight!
   And we’ll advance some more to score,
   The Rutgers flag flies high tonight, alright, alright
   We’ll fling the Scarlet Banner out,
   And Rutgers men will fight, fight, fight, fight, fight;
   The bells of Queens each victory shout
   The bells of Queens must ring tonight.

   RU, Rah, Rah;
   RU, Rah, Rah,
   Whoo-Rah, Whoo-Rah;
   Rutgers Rah

   Up Stream Red Team
   Red Team Up Stream
   Rah, Rah, Rutgers Rah

   Keep Rutgers colors to the fore
   For they must win so fight, fight, fight!
   And we’ll advance some more to score,
   The Rutgers flag flies high tonight, alright, alright
   We’ll fling the Scarlet Banner out,
   And Rutgers men will fight, fight, fight, fight, fight;
   The bells of Queens each victory shout
   The bells of Queens must ring tonight.

2. On The Banks of the Old Raritan

   From far and near we came to Rutgers,
   And resolved to learn all that we can;
   And so we settled down,
   In that noisy college town,
   On the banks of the old Raritan.

   Refrain:
   On the banks of the old Raritan (my friends)
   Where old Rutgers evermore shall stand,
   For has she not stood 
   Since the time of the flood,
   On the banks of the old Raritan.

   Then sing aloud to Alma Mater
   And keep the scarlet in the van’
   For with her motto high
   Rutgers’ name shall never die
   On the banks of the old Raritan.

   (Refrain)

   1914 single-gender text

   My father sent me to old Rutgers,
   And resolv’d that I should be a man;
   And so I settled down, In that noisy college town,
   On the banks of the old Raritan.
