"Tiger Rag"
Long ago way down in the jungle
Someone got an inspiration for a tune
And that jingle came from the jungle
Became famous mighty soon
Thrills and chills it sends through you
Hot so hot it burns you too
Though it's just the growl of the Tiger
It was written in a syncopated way
More and more they yell for the Tiger
Everywhere you go today, they're shoutin:
Where's that Tiger?
Where's that Tiger?
Where's that Tiger?
Where's that Tiger?
Hold that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger!
C-L-E-M-S-O...N!
"Tiger Rag" was written and composed by Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1917.
"Clemson University Alma Mater"
Where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness; Where the Tigers play; Here the sons of dear Old Clemson, Reign supreme alway.
We will dream of great conquests For our past is grand, And her sons have fought and conquered Every foreign land.
Where the mountains smile in grandeur O'er the hill and dale; Here the Tiger lair is nestling Swept by storm and gale.
We are brothers strong in manhood For we work and strive; and our Alma Mater reigneth Forever in our lives.
Chorus Dear Old Clemson, we will triumph And with all our might That the Tiger's roar may echo O'er the mountain height.
