Sons of California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Sons of California" is a fight song of the University of California, Berkeley, as well as the University of California, Davis. It was composed by Clinton "Brick" Morse in 1896. Although it was originally an unpopular song among students because of its slow and solemn hymn, the Cal Band began performing a more lively version in the 1930s. From then on, Sons of California would remain one of the most well known songs at the University.
[edit] Lyrics
We are Sons of California
A loyal company;
All shout for California
"While we strive for victory.
All sing the joyful chorus,
As her colors we unfold;
Then hurrah for California,
And for the Blue and Gold.
(shouted verse, accompanied by percussion instruments)
Hit It!...

CALI-FORRRRRRRRR-NIA!
We're Sons of California
Fair mistress of the sea;
"And we'll win for California,
Her glorious destiny.
Then raise the joyful chorus,
As her colors we unfold
For we'll win for California,
And for the Blue and Gold.
- Note: In the first and second verses, the second and third "California's are sung as Cal-eee-for-knee-yuh.
