Hurrah Hurrah Pennsylvania!!!!!

A Toast to Dear Old Penn!!!!










Come, all ye loyal classmen now,
In hall and campus through,
Lift up your hearts and voices for
The royal Red and Blue.
Fair Harvard has her crimson,
Old Yale her colors too,
But for dear Pennsylvania,
We wear the Red and Blue.

Chorus:

Hurrah, Hurrah, Pennsylvania,
Hurrah for the Red and the Blue;
Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah,
Hurrah for the Red and Blue.


One color's in the blushing rose,
The other tints the clouds,
And when together both disclose,
We're happy as the gods.
We ask no other emblem,
No other sign to view,
We only ask to see and cheer
Our colors Red and Blue.
How often when on fields of sport,
We've seen our boys go through,
The very air was rent in twain
With cheers for Red and Blue.
We knew that vict'ry then was ours,
All else we might eschew,
If only we could wave and sing
Our colors Red and Blue.
And then upon the breast of her
Whose heart beats warm and true,
It is the dearest sight of all
To see our Red and Blue.
She wears them with a smile so bright,
It wakes our hearts anew,
To swear eternal loyalty,
To dear old Red and Blue.
And now thro' all the years to come,
In midst of toil and care,
We'll get new inspiration from
The colors waving there.
And when to all our college life
We've said our last adieu,
We'll never say adieu to thee,
Our colors Red and Blue.

And as sung by John Legend with the Penn Glee Club for the 2020 Commencement ...
