ALL HAIL TO KAZOO
All Hail! To Kazoo I All Hail! Our colors we ra1se on high, To our school we will e'er be true. To the brezes that fill the sky, Let us make the air resound, And we greet them with a cheer. Let our hearts with joy abound, For no others are so dear As we give a cheer to Old Kazoo When the orange and the black are nigh; The scene of our college days, And all through the years to come, We ever would sing her praise; With love that will never wane, So with voices clear, With our spirits gay, And a rousing cheer, In the same old way, A song to Kazoo we raise. We'll cherish the sweet refrain.
CHORUS.
Kalamazoo, we hail thee; Faithful to thee we'll be, Though we may wander far and wide, Our hearts will be bound to thee; Firm are the ties that hold us Loyal to thee, and true, So let us give together The cheer, Rahl Rahl Kazoo!
