Fight Song

To the tune of the Marines' Hymn:


"When the Scarlet team comes on the field,

We will all stand up and cheer;

To the other team we'll never yield,

And they won't forget we're here.

We will fight for victory and win,

We will conquer every foe.

When the Scarlet team comes on the field,

We will fight for Mankato."
