"For when our line starts to weaken, our backs fail to gain, Our ends are so crippled to win seems in vain, Then the Corps roots the loudest, we'll yet win the day; The team it will rally and Fight! Fight! Fight! Ray! We'll gain thru the line and we'll circle the ends, Old Red White and Yellow will triumph again, The 'Keydets' will fight 'em and never say die, That's the spirit of V.M.I.!"
