Cheer, Oshkosh, cheer for the white and gold,
Proudly we honor our colors fair;
Stainless and bright our banner unfold;
Cheer, till the echoes fill the air.
Purple is royal and blue is true,
Orange and black are renowned and strong;
Braver, more beautiful, dearer, too,
The white and gold to us belong.

REFRAIN:
Cheer, Oshkosh, cheer for the white and gold.
Proudly we honor our colors fair;
Long may their glory in song be told;
Cheer, Oshkosh, Cheer.

Backward we turn to the years that are gone,
Scanning their pages for progress past.
Lo! They are filled with victories won,
Bright with achievement from first to last,
White is the record our school can boast,
Golden her gifts to her children all;
Loyal and strong is that happy host,
Strong to defend her, true to her call.

REFRAIN.

Forward we gaze to the future years;
Glorious the vision our eyes behold;
Never a shadow of wrong appears,
Darkening the fame of the white and gold.
Ours in the present to guard that fame,
Higher to lift it and plant it secure;
Ours to rejoice in the pride of its claim;
Ours to transmit it, unsullied and pure.

REFRAIN.
