Ok, thanks Nina.

Part of it sounds just like that song we used to sing way back in kindergarten.

[hhsilver]

both have the same melody

[Seattle Slew]

Same music, different words.

[porkchop817]

the music is the same...the lyrics are pretty similar



Eyes of Texas

The eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the live long day.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.

Do not think you can escape them,
At night, or early in the morn'.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
Till Gabriel blows his horn!





Workin on the Railroad

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn

[Willie Bee]

Here's a much better school song, melody isn't copied from a kindergarten tune. The next time you see one of the miltary's jets streaking across the sky above you, get down on your knees and thank God Almighty there's a far better chance that an Aggie is on the stick instead of some of that 6th Street slime you might see oozing around Austin.

Does anyone know what is the fight song of NJIT? I believe they haven't won a basketball game for the last couple years.
