[Verse]
We left on our fabulous tour,​
But the heat made it hard to endure.​
Although, the sun is still here,​
The oncoming rain is a pain in the rear,​
Or maybe our—​
Don't you know that it's hard to do a show
When you're up to your knees in slimy green mud?
But you know the Band will persevere,​
Surviving on sweat! and guts! and blood!
Oh, can't you see the crowd will roar tonight,​
As the Cal Marching Band, that's the best in the land,​
Will come through, damn right!
