Spoken: Oh yeah! C'MON BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, LET THEM PLAY!!!

Stanza I.
This ain't no time for much hand-clappin';
I knew this was bound to happen,
But at Cal State Fullerton or Evansville.
Boston U. is decorated,
But so we can be elated,
We refuse to take the football-killing pill.
They might remove their numerals from uniforms,(1)
But we will still sing out in this, our perfect storm:

Refrain I.
Let them play! let them play;
They live for it every day.
Oh, no matter what they say, the team's important
'Cos the faculty know nothing 'bout what they have sowed.
Soon a new program will grow, so let them play.

Stanza II.
So when we see degeneration
In the school's administration
We need far more information--let them play.
Let the press lambast us all!
We know that we'll never fall
As we hear from players calling: "Let us play!"
Oh, just because they kill the football team,
It doesn't mean that with the program goes the dream.

Refrain II.
So let them play! let them play;
They live for it every day.
Oh, no matter what they say, the team's important.
Just let them play every autumn;
May they never hit the bottom
Of the great Atlantic 10(2), so let them play.

Bridge.
Let us go to Nickerson Field(3) with confidence
As the day draws near
On which one may see a game
In this most hallowed stadium.

(Refrain I)

(Refrain II)
