Hail, hail the gang's all here to yell for you, And keep you going in your winning ways, Hail, hail the gang's all here to tell you too, That win or lose, we'll always sing your praises Packers; Go, you Packers, go and get 'em, Go, you fighting fools upset 'em, Smash their line with all your might, A touchdown, Packers, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight! On, you Green and Gold, to glory, Win this game the same old story, Fight, you Packers, Fight, and bring the bacon home to Old Green Bay. - - - by Eric Karll, 1931
