Washington's

fight song 'Bow Down to Washington' was written by Lester Wilson in 1913.

The song is used to this day during all Husky events - and during football

games, the Husky Marching Band will play portions of the song to denote First

Downs for the Huskies, and whenever points are put on the scoreboard.

Other popular songs at Husky games are "Tequila", "Louie Louie", and "Everybody's

Following are the lyrics to the two Husky fight songs, "Bow Down" and

"Victory for Washington", which Husky students, fans, and alumni proudly

sing at Husky sporting events.

Bow Down to Washington,

Bow Down to Washington,

Mighty Are The Men

Who Wear the Purple and the Gold,

Joyfully We Welcome Them

Within the Victors Fold.

We Will Carve Their Names

In the Hall of Fame

To Preserve the Memory of Our Devotion.

Heaven Help the Foes of Washington;

They're Trembling at the Feet

Of Mighty Washington,

The Boys Are There With Bells,

Their Fighting Blood Excels,

It's Harder to Push Them Over the Line

Than Pass the Dardanelles.

Victory the Cry of Washington...

Leather Lungs Together

With a Rah! Rah! Rah!

And O'er the Land

Our Loyal Band

Will Sing the Glory

Of Washington Forever.

Vict'ry for Washington

For the purple and the gold

Vict'ry for Washington

Hear the Husky cry of old to win

The Husky pack is fighting on again

Hear the loyal rooters sing

Vict'ry for Washington

Our Alma Mater will ring.
