it is an atrocity this did not make the top five...but you have to experiene the song live to appreciate it:
The Aggie War Hymn
Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!
Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!
First Verse
All hail to dear old Texas A&M,
Rally around Maroon and White,
Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies,
They are the boys who show the fight.
That good old Aggie spirit thrills us.
And makes us yell and yell and yell; --
So let's fight for dear old Texas A&M,
We're goin' to beat you all to --
Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem!
Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem!
Rough! Tough!
Real stuff! Texas A&M!
Second Verse
Good-bye to Texas University.
So long to the Orange and White.
Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies,
They are the boys who show
the real old fight.
The eyes of Texas are upon you.
That is the song they sing so well,
So, good-bye to Texas University,
We're goin' to beat you all to --
Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem!
Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem!
Rough! Tough!
Real stuff! Texas A&M!

I will never forget listening to games back in the 50s, broadcast by the immortal Kern Tipps. He never failed to tell how the Aggie War Hymn was written by Pinky Wilson while standing on the banks of the Rhine.
Oh, you typed that all wrong. Allow me to correct ...
We are the Aggies of the Kiddie Corps
Good little Aggies ages 2 to 4
We play the soldier boy from morn' to night
We are the boys who show that (insert gay voice here)"real true fight"
The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You
That is the song they sing so well
(makes me so mad I could just spit)
There's more, but it's been so many years. Maybe someone else can finish it for me.
Hook 'em!
