Join the Boosters
If you like the old town beat.
Tell 'em so!
If you'd have her lead the rest.
Help her grow!
When there's anything to do
Let the fellows count on you;
You'll feel bully when it's through.
Don't you know?
If you want to make a hit.
Get a name!
If the othor fellow's it.
Who's to blame?
Spend your money in the town
Where you pull the sheckles down;
Give the mail concerns a frown
That's the game.
When a stranger from afar
Comes along.
Tell him who and what we are
Make it strong.
Needn't flatter, never bluff;
Tell the truth, that's enough;
Join the boosters they're the stuff,
You belong?
If you'er used to giving knocks,
Change your style!
Throw bouquets imtead of rocks
For a while.
Let the other fellow roast;
Shun him as you would a ghost;
Meet his hammer with s boost
And a smile.
