[Verse 1]
When some loud braggart tries to put me down
And says his school is great
I tell him right away
"Now what's the matter buddy
Ain't you heard of my school?
It's number one in the state"
(Hey, hey take it away, get that ball and fight!)
[Chorus]
So be true to your school now
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Just like you would to your girl, guys
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Be true to your school now
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
And let your colors fly
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Be true to your school
[Verse 2]
I got a letterman's sweater
With a letter in front
I got for football and track
I'm proud to wear it now
When I cruise around
The other parts of the town
I got my decal in back
[Chorus]
So be true to your school now
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Just like you would to your girl, guys
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Be true to your school now
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
And let your colors fly
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Be true to your school
(Do it again, do it again, we like it, we like it!)
[Verse 3]
Come Friday we'll be jacked up on the football game
And I'll be ready to fight
We're gonna smash 'em now
My girl will be working on her pom-poms now
And she'll be yelling tonight
[Chorus]
So be true to your school now
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Just like you would to your girl, guys
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Be true to your school now
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
And let your colors fly
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Be true to your school
(Push 'em back, push 'em back, way back!)
[Outro]
Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah
Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah
Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah
When some loud braggart tries to put me down
And says his school is great
I tell him right away
"Now what's the matter buddy
Ain't you heard of my school?

[Chorus]
So be true to your school now
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Just like you would to your girl, guys
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Be true to your school now
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
And let your colors fly
(Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis boom bah)
Be true to your school
