United States Military Academy Fight Song
West Point, New York
"On Brave Old Army Team"
The Army team's the pride and dream
Of every heart in gray.
The Army line you'll ever find
A terror in the fray;
And when the team is fighting
for the Black and Gray and Gold,
We're always near with song and cheer
And this is the tale we're told:
The Army team
(Band and whistle)
Rah Rah Rah
(cannon shot)
On, brave old Army team,
On to the fray:
Fight on to victory,
For that's the fearless Army way.
"On Brave Old Army Team" was written and composed by Lieutenant Egner in 1910. As legend has it, Lieutenant Egner came up with the song while walking home and wrote the lyrics down on his shirt cuff.
