LSU Fight Song

Hey fightin Tigers

Hey, look me over
Lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover
Mortgage up to here
But don't pass the plate, folks
Don't pass the cup
I figure whenever you're down and out
The only way is up
And I'll be up like a rose bud
High on the vine
Don't thumb your nose
But take a tip from mine
I'm a little bit short of the elbow room
But let me get me some
And look out world
Here I come
Yes, hey, look me over
Lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover
Mortgage up to here
But don't pass the plate, folks
Don't pass the cup
I figure whenever you're down and out
The only way is up
And I'll be up like a rose bud
High on the vine
Don't thumb your nose
But take a tip from mine
I'm a little bit short of the elbow room
But let me get me some
And look out, world
Here I come

From a 1960 Broadway musical, Wildcat, starring Lucille Ball.

I was an undergraduate when Hey Fighting Tigers was first played - most of us thought it was kind of gay.

Isn’t that Rummel’s fight song..?

He's playing Hey Look Me Over baw

Jim Corbett, who was the athletic director at the time, heard the song while watching a Broadway show in New York. LSU bought the rights to the song and changed the words.
