Boston College Poem

*Boston College*

(Set to the Melody of “For Boston”)

For Boston, For Boston,
The Eagles will excel,
For Boston, For Boston,
This tune our lungs will yell;
The echoes of the Superfans
Will root our teams along,
And t’wards the ring of victory
They’ll rally to our song;
For Boston, For Boston,
We roll Maroon & Gold!

For Boston, For Boston,
We’ll win the Holy War,
For Boston, For Boston,
The team will take the score;
We cheer for Boston’s miracles
And tailgate every game,
Let’s roast another Frankfurt’
Then let’s toast to Boston’s name;
For Boston, For Boston,
Hail Flutie! We cheer proud.

In Boston, In Boston,
We rejoice in the Heights,
In Boston, In Boston,
The Forum holds our flights;
With the mastery of Celtics
We will dominate the court,
And with the height of Eagles
We will tower in the North;
In Boston, In Boston,
We roll Maroon & Gold!

In Boston, In Boston,
The ice is where we rule,
In Boston, In Boston,
The Hockey prides our school;
With a dynasty of champions
Our Rink is so adorned,
With banners from the heavens
Other teams have been forewarned;
In Boston, In Boston,
We re-main champ-i-ons!

For Boston, For Boston,
The College will abide,
In Boston, In Boston,
These hearts will all reside;
The Golden Eagle’s mark is
Where an Eagle’s course begins,
We’ll return to this statue
After all the courses end;
Our Motto, Our Motto,
is
Ever to Excel.
