Down with the Red and Black,
Georgia Tech is out for a victory.
We'll drop the battle-axe on georgia's head,
When we meet her our team is sure to beat her.
Down on the old farm there will be no sound
Till our bow-wows rip through the air;
When the battle is over Georgia's team will be found

With the Yellow Jackets swarming around!
