Michigan State University Fight Song

East Lansing, Michigan
"Victory for MSU"

On the banks of the Red Cedar
There's a school that's known to all
Its specialty is winning
And those Spartans play good ball
Spartan Teams are never beaten
All through the game they'll fight
Fight for the only colors
Green and White
Go right through for MSU
Watch the points keep growing
Spartan Teams are bound to win,
they're fighting with a vim
Rah! Rah! Rah!
See their team is weakening
We're going to win this game!
Fight! Fight! Rah, Team, Fight!
Victory for MSU!

"Victory for MSU" was written and composed by Francis Irving Lankey and Arthur Sales in 1915, but combining the lyrics with the melody from the hymn "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus."
