Fight Song
Wave the Flag (For Old Chicago) is the fight song for the Maroons. Gordon Erickson wrote the lyrics in 1929. The tune was adapted from Miami University's "Marching Song" written in 1908 by Raymond H. Burke, a University of Chicago graduate who joined Miami's faculty in 1906.
The song is traditionally sung by the players at midfield after all home victories.
- Wave the flag of old Chicago,
- Maroon the color grand.
- Ever shall her team be victors
- Known throughout the land.
- With the grand old man to lead them,
- Without a peer they'll stand.
- Wave again the dear old banner,
- For they're heroes ev'ry man.

Quoth little Peterkin.—

But ‘twas a famous victory.”
