School Song Lyrics (Football)
When Bishop Noll goes marching down that line
We’re going to win that game another time.
And for the Blue and Gold we’ll fight, fight, fight.
And for the Blue and Gold we’ll fight with all our might.
Oh, yes, we’ll fight, fight, fight for every yard.
We’ll hit that line; we’ll hit that line.
We’ll bury our opponents ‘neath the score,
‘neath the score.
We’ll fight, fight, fight. -

When Bishop Noll goes dribbling down that floor
We’re going to do our best to raise that score.
And for the Blue and Gold we’ll fight, fight, fight.
And for the Blue and Gold we’ll fight with all our might.
Oh, yes, we’ll fight, fight, fight in every gym;
We’ll hit that rim; we’ll sink it in.
We’ll bury our opponents ‘neath the score,
‘neath the score.
We’ll fight, fight, fight.
