Lyrics
- Talk about the Sooners
The Aggies and the Braves
Talk about the Tiger and his tail
Talk about the Huskers
Those old corn-huskin’ boys
But I’m a bird to make ’em weep and wail
Chorus:
‘Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw
‘Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk
With a sis-boom hip hoorah
- Got a bill that’s big enough
To twist the Tiger’s tail
Husk some corn and listen
To the corn-husker’s wail
‘Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk
Riding on a Kansas gale
