WHY NOT FIGHT?
(as performed on The Electric Company)
words and music by Tom Lehrer
| ALL: | Rah, rah! Sis-boom-bah! |
| GROUP 1: | GROUP 2: |
| Fight! | |
| F-I-G-H-T | |
| We may not win but then again we might! | |
| M-I-G-H-T | |
| And even if we don't it's still all right, | |
| R-I-G-H-T | |
| So why not | |
| Fight? | |
| |
| Fight | |
| F-I-G-H-T | |
| Our quarterback is really not too bright (*) | |
| B-R-I-G-H-T | |
| The way it looks we might be here all night | |
| N-I-G-H-T | |
| |
|
ALL: (shouted) Fight!
Repeat above, except: change "Don't step on the referee" to "Watch out for the referee" and omit the intro ("Rah, rah, etc.") and the last three lines ("Give a cheer, etc.")
(*) this couplet was originally:
| "Cause if we don't, we may be here all night | N-I-G-H-T |
| Let's try to keep our casualties light | L-I-G-H-T |
