A Baylor University song, 1920
Words and music by Will N. Payne
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- You have heard of the Texas Longhorn,
You have heard of the Kangaroo,
You have heard of the Owls and wild Mustangs,
You have heard of the Aggies too;
But listen while I tell you
What gives that bunch a scare:
It’s the gleam of the Green and Gold, (Yea team!)
They all fear the Baylor Bear.
Chorus:
Oh, the Longhorn’s long we’re agreed,
Com-a ti-yi yu-pa yu-pa yea,
Like a Razorback, he’s built for speed,
Com-a ti-yi yu-pa yu-pa yea;
But the Baylor Bears did a mighty deed,
Com-a ti-yi yu-pa yu-pa yea,
When he made that Longhorn herd stampеde,
Com-a ti-yi yu-pa yu-pa yea.
- And we don’t givе a darn for the difference,
For an Owl or a Kangaroo,
There’s a great big “B” on the Longhorn steer,
And a “B” on the Mustang too.
Then listen while I tell you,
What gives that bunch a scare;
It’s the gleam of the Green and Gold, (Yea team!)
They all fear the Baylor Bear
