based on " Row, Row, Row From Ziegfeld Follies". Oh we're from Tigerland
A fighting fury, we're from Tigerland
In any weather you'll see us with a grin
Risking head and shin
If we're behind then never mind
We'll fight and fight and win

Like the Tiger of old, we're strong and we're bold
For we're from Tiger – yellow and black – we're from Tigerland!
