Strike Up The Band For UCLA
(Ira Gershwin)

We stand undaunted in the fray,
Rum-ta-ta tum-tum-tum!
And sing of old UCLA,
Rum-ta-ta tum-tum-tum!

We're sons and daughters of the bear,
We're the California Bruins;
We fight the foe and do and dare,
And the foe is left in ruins!

We're standing firm! Our line will hold!
Rum-ta-ta tum-tum-tum,
Strike up the band for Blue and Gold!
Rum-ta-ta tum-tum
Rum-ta-ta tum-tum
Rum-ta-ta tum-tum--tum-tum!

Refrain:
Let the drums roll out!
(Boom-boom-boom!)
Let the trumpets call!
(Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!)
Let the whole world shout-
(Hooray!)
UCLA!

With our battle cry-
(Grrrah! Grrrah! Grrrah!)
Bruin! Conquer all!
(Ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ta!)
We will do or die~
(Hooray!)
UCLA!

There's a game to be won, to be won!
Put the foe on the run, on the run!
And it's got to be done, to be done,
Here today!

With our flag unfurled
(Boom-boom-boom!)
We can lick the world!
You see, we're UCLA
