Illinois! Fling out that dear old flajj of Orange and Blue, Lead on your sons and daughters, Fighting for you; Like men of old, on giants Placing reliance, Shouting defiance — Oskee-wow-wow — Amid the broad green plains That nourish our land, For honest Labor and for Learning we stand, And unto thee we pledge our heart and hand, Hear Alma Mater, Illinois.
