Lyndi in London: A Most Excellent Tradition . . . Rain or Snow . . . or massive amounts of sunshine that burn me every year, with or without protection.

A Most Excellent Tradition . . . Rain or Snow . . . or massive amounts of sunshine that burn me every year, with or without protection.

I may want to sing, "Blue are the skies that reach above us! Blue are the lakes and mountain's feet. Golden the grain our harvests yield, golden the sheaves of ripening wheat. Then Sing Hurrah! for the Gold and Blue, sing loud and let it's praises ring! To our dear gold and blue, we ever will be true Hip Hurrah for the Gold and Blue!" or even "We love Moapa High School! Dear Gold and Blue! We love our colors! To thee, our hearts are true as blue we love every inch of you. Cheer Moapa High School. Fight Team! and never say die! We'll fight for our high school, Moapa High! With a Hip Hurrah! MV Rah Rah, MV Rah Rah! There's nothin' the matter us, Rah Rah! MV Rah Rah! MV Rah Rah there's nothin' the matter with us!" But really I'm singing,

Rise, all loyal Cougars and hurl your
challenge to the foe.
We will fight, day or night, rain or snow.
Loyal, strong, and true
Wear the white and blue.
While we sing, get set to spring.
Come on, Cougars, it’s up to you. Oh!

Chorus:
Rise and shout, the Cougars are out
Along the trail to fame and glory.
Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out
As you unfold your vict’ry story.
On you go to vanquish the foe
For Alma Mater’s sons and daughters.
As we join in song in praise of you our
faith is strong.
We’ll raise our colors high in the blue
And cheer our Cougars of BYU.
