Roar, Lion, Roar

It was originally titled "Bold Buccaneers" and was written with different lyrics for the 1923 Varsity Show Half Moon Inn by Columbia undergraduates Corey Ford and Morris W. Watkins, and alumnus Roy Webb.

The original lyrics are:[2] When the bold teams of old Wore the Blue and White, Deeds of fame made their name, Here at old Columbia!

Hear the Lion roar in pride, While the men of Morningside Follow the Blue and White to vict'ry.

The 1923 Varsity Show, Half Moon Inn, was based on characters from The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.

Shouting her name forever, Sound with our cheers The praise of mighty Hendrik Hudson's fame.

Second Verse: Nowadays when we race By Poughkeepsie's shore, You will find, close behind, the Ghost of Hendrik Hudson!
