Tom Lehrer Fight Fiercely, Harvard! Letras:I know it's very bad form to quote one's own reviews, but I would like to
mention something that the New York Times said about me a year ago which
I've always treasured -- they said: "Mr. Lehrer's muse is not
fettered by such inhibiting factors as taste".
Now we come to that peculiar bit of Americana known as the football fight
song. I was reminded not too long ago, upon returning from my lesson with
the Scrabble pro at the Harvard club in Boston, of the days of my
undergraduacy long ago when there used to be these very long Saturday
afternoons in the fall with nothing to do -- the library was closed --
just waiting around for the cocktail parties to begin. And on occasions
like that, some of us used to wander over to the... I believe it was
called the stadium, to see if anything might be going on over there. And
one did come to realize that the football fight songs that one hears in
comparable stadia have a tendency to be somewhat uncouth, and even
violent, and that it would be refreshing, to say the least, to find one
that was a bit more genteel. And here it is, dedicated to my own alma
mater, and called Fight Fiercely, Harvard.
[Más Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/QkgK]Fight fiercely, Harvard,
fight, fight, fight!
Demonstrate to them our skill.
Albeit they possess the might,
Nonetheless we have the will.
How we shall celebrate our victory,
We shall invite the whole team up for tea
(How jolly!)
Hurl that spheroid down the field, and
Fight, fight, fight!
Fight fiercely, Harvard,
fight, fight, fight!
Impress them with our prowess, do!
Oh, fellows, do not let the crimson down,
Be of stout heart and true.
Come on, chaps, fight for Harvard's glorious name,
Won't it be peachy if we win the game?
(Oh, goody!)
Let's try not to injure them, but
Fight, fight, fight!
And do fight fiercely!
Fight, fight, fight!
