The Princeton University Band March
The lyrics to the band's theme song:
- Oh here we are, the Princeton Band,
- Playing songs of Old Nassau.
- That old refrain will sound again,
- And you will hear the tiger roar!
- The slide trombone, the saxophone,
- And the bass drum sounding grand!
- With a boom, boom, boom!
- And a zoom, zoom, zoom!
- Oh, when you hear the Princeton Band!
