:All hail to S.C.U.

:Honor her prestige and fame,

:Oh! hold high those standards

:As we go into the game.

(Chorus)

:Varsity fight for Santa Clara

:Banners of red and white on high

:No matter how great your foe men [team],

:Let your motto be "to do or die."

:Rah! Rah! Varsity men [team],

:We are cheering for you,

:Our gallant heroes, sturdy, staunch and true

:Over thy rich, fertile vale,

:Belov'd Alma Mater,

:Teach no word akin to fail.
