Fight Fiercely, Harvard

A funny song from 1953.
Words and music by Tom Lehrer.


The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


  1. Fight fiercely, Harvard
    Fight, fight, fight!
    Demonstrate to them our skill
    Albeit they possess the might
    Nonetheless we have the will
    How we shall celebrate our victory
    We shall invite the whole team up for tea
    (How jolly!)
    Hurl that spheroid down the field, and
    Fight, fight, fight!
  2. 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
    And do fight fiercely!
    Fight, fight, fight!
