Chorus
Collegiate, Collegiate, yes we are Collegiate
Nothing intermedjate, No ma’am
Trousers baggy, and our clothes look raggy
But we’re rough and ready, Yea!
Garters are the things we never wear
And we haven’t any use for red hot flannels
Very, very seldom in a hurry
Never ever worry
We’re Collegiate, Rah Rah Rah
