Fight Fiercely, Harvard (Live) - Tom Lehrer

Written by：Tom Lehrer

Now

Now we come to that peculiar bit of Americana known as the football fight song

I was reminded not too long ago upon returning from my lesson

With the scrabble pro at the Harvard club in Boston

The days of my undergraduacy long ago

When there used to be these very long Saturday afternoons in the fall

With nothing to do

The library was closed

Just just waiting around for the cocktail parties to begin

And on occasions like that some of us used to wander over to the

I believe it was called the stadium

To see if anything might be going on over there

And one did come to realize

The football fight songs that one hears in comparable Stadia

Have a tendency

Have a tendency to be somewhat uncouth and even violent

And that it would be refreshing to say the least

To find one that was a bite more genteel

And here it is dedicated to my own Alma mater and called fight fiercely Harvard

Fight fiercely Harvard

Fight fight fight

Demonstrate to them our skill

Albeit they possess the might

Nonetheless we have the will

How we will celebrate our victory

We shall invite the whole team up for tea

How jolly

Hurl that spheroid down the field and

Fight fight fight

Fight fiercely Harvard

Fight fight fight

Impress them with our prowess do

Oh fellows do not let the crimson down

Be of stout heart and true

Come on chaps fight for Harvard's glorious name

Won't it be peachy if we win the game

Oh goody

Let's try not to injure them but

Fight fight fight

Let's not be rough though

Fight fight fight

And do fight fiercely

Fight fight fight
