Alexis I., we bring to thee devotion tried and true.
With Honor, faith and loyalty, your standards we’ll imbue.

THE FIGHT SONG

Oh, we’re from old Alexis. We’re not as big as Texas,
But we’ve got what it takes to make a name!
We’ve got lots of spirit and you’re gonna hear it,
When we win this (football) game!*
Oh, there’s a time for learning, but now it’s time for turning
To our team who will get us what we want!
Yes, our foes will suffer, when they see we’re tougher
From Alexis I. duPont!
