In old Ohio there’s a team
That’s known thru-out the land;
Eleven warriors, brave and bold,
Whose fame will ever stand.
And when the ball goes over,
Our cheers will reach the sky,
Ohio field will hear again
The Buckeye Battle Cry
Drive! Drive on down the field
Men of the scarlet and gray
Don't let them through that line
We have to win this game today
Come on, Ohio!
Smash through to victory
We cheer you as you go
Our honor defend
We will fight to the end for O-HI-O!
Fight the team across the field
Show them Ohio's here
(We've got the team why don't we)
Set the Earth reverberating
With a mighty cheer
RAH! RAH! RAH!
Hit them hard and see how they fall
Never let that team get the ball
Hail! Hail! The gang's all here
So let's win that old conference now!

Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on!
Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on!
Sloopy lives in a very bad part of town
And everybody, yeah, tries to put my Sloopy down

Oh! Come let’s sing Ohio’s praise,
And songs to Alma Mater raise;
While our hearts rebounding thrill,
With joy which death
alone can still.
Summer’s heat or Winter’s cold.
The seasons pass,
the years will roll;
Time and change will surely show
How firm thy friendship O-hi-o.
"Script Ohio," the "Trademark of The Ohio State University Marching Band," is considered by many to be the most memorable tradition in college band history.
