OU Chant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The OU Chant is the alma mater of the University of Oklahoma.
The chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, the coach of the OU girl's glee club from 1936 to 1938. It is played by The Pride of Oklahoma and sung by fans and alumni during pregame festivities prior to home football games in Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The Chant is also played and/or sung at other official University gatherings and sporting events.
[edit] Lyrics
- O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A
- Our chant rolls on and on!
- Thousands strong
- Join heart and song
- In alma mater's praise
- Of campus beautiful by day and night
- Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White
- 'Neath a western sky
- OU's chant will never die.
- Live on University!
