I’m a Jayhawk

One of the traditions freshmen learned Monday was the KU fight song:
Talk about the Sooners,
The Cowboys and the Buffs
Talk about the Tigers and his tail
Talk about those Wildcats
And those Cornhuskin’ boys
But I’m a bird to make ’em weep and wail
‘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 the sis-boom, hip hurrah!
Got a bill that’s big enough
To twist a Tiger’s tail,
Husk some corn and listen to the Cornhuskers wail
‘Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk
Riding on a Kansas gale.
