Lyrics
Original lyrics
We're right behind our college in everything she does,
For we know we'll never find her in the wrong.
We believe in her standards, and we'll ever give her praise,
And for her we'll forever sing this song.
Singing glory to the Green, singing glory to the White,
For we know our dear old college is forever in the right.
Down the corridor of years, we'll forget the joys and tears,
But the Normal, the Normal, we love.
We're with her on the platform, we're with her on the court,
We're with her on the field the whole day long,
She always stands the test, and we'll always love her best,
And for her we'll forever sing this song.
Singing glory to the Green, singing glory to the White,
For we know our dear old college is forever in the right.
Down the corridor of years, we'll forget the joys and tears,
but the Normal, the Normal, we love.
Current lyrics
Singing glory to the Green, singing glory to the White,
For we know our university is striving for the right.
Down the corridors of years, we'll forget the joys and tears,
But North Texas, North Texas, we love.
