Hip, Hip, Hip, for Old Swarthmore
Cornell may have her Royal Red, Old Yale may have her Blue; The Crimson of old Harvard, Is very noted too; The Red and Black of Haverford, Has rooters by the score; But here's to the dear old Garnet, And the sons of old Swarthmore.
Then Hip, Hip, Hip, for old Swarthmore, Our Alma Mater dear; Each staunch foe will quickly yield As her sons so strong draw near. Then let us rise in loyalty And cheer in Fame's bright Hall With a hip, hip, hip, hurray, hurray, For the college best of all.
Though dark defeat may haunt our team, With vict'ry far away; Though Fate may work against us, And make the day seem gray; Though the standard of our enemies, May conquer old Swarthmore; 'Tis then we will rise and praise thee, As we did in days of yore.
