FIGHT SONG

HAIL, COALINGA HIGH SCHOOL,
MARCH ON TO VICTORY,
OUT OF THE FIELD OF BATTLE,
OUR VOICES ARE WITH THEE

FIGHT FOR ALMA MATER,
THE ORANGE AND THE BLACK,
WE SENT YOU FOR THE BACON,
BE SURE TO BRING IT BACK

ALMA MATER

THROUGH THE FOUR LONG YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL,
MIDST THE SCENES WE LOVE SO WELL,
AND THE MYSTIC CHARM OF KNOWLEDGE,
WE VAINLY SEEK TO SPELL.

AS WE WIN REWARDING VICTORIES,
IN ATHLETIC GAMES OR TRACK,
WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR COALINGA,
AND THE ORANGE AND THE BLACK.

WHEN THE CARES OF LIFE O'ER TAKE US,
MINGLING FAST OUR LOCKS WITH GRAY,
SHOULD OUR DEAREST HOPES BETRAY US,
FALSE FORTUNES FALL AWAY.

STILL WE BANISH CARE AND SADNESS,
AS WE TURN OUR MEMORIES BACK,
AND RECALL THOSE DAYS OF GLADNESS,
'NEATH THE ORANGE AND THE BLACK.
