Florida, our Alma Mater,
Thy glorious name we praise;
All thy loyal sons together
A joyous song shall raise.
Where palm and pine are blowing,
Where southern seas are flowing.
Shine forth thy noble Gothic walls.
Thy lovely vine-clad halls
'Neath the Orange and Blue victorious
Our love shall never fail.
There's no other name so glorious-
All Hail, Florida, Hail!
