"On, On, U of K" | University of Kentucky Primary Fight Song

Here's the fight song of the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky of Lexington, KY.

The fight song was written in 1922 by music professor and then music department chair at UK, Dr. Carl Lampert, with lyrics penned the next year by student Troy Perkins. The song was then first published in the 1925 edition of the school yearbook, The Kentuckian. While the song refers to the school as "U of K", the student body, as well as other Wildcat fans, faculty, and alumni, call the university "UK". While the fight song was associated with the successful men's basketball program, it was primarily written for the football program instead. The Wildcat Marching Band plays this fight song in athletic events and in pep rallies and other performances to this day.

This version is a shortened version, usually playes by the WMB in the football stands. It starts in the middle of the song, and then repeating all the way from the top. I'll upload a full version in the future when I can get to it.

And now, hope you enjoy! Go Cats and Go Big Blue!

LYRICS:
We'll fight, fight, fight,
For the Blue and White
As we roll to that goal, Varsity,
And we'll kick, pass and run,
'Til the battle is won,
And we'll bring home the victory.

On, on U of K,
We are right for the fight today,
Hold that ball and hit that line;
Ev'ry Wildcat star will shine;
We'll fight, fight, fight,
For the Blue and White
As we roll to that goal, Varsity,
And we'll kick, pass and run,
'Til the battle is won,
And we'll bring home the victory.
