BUCKEYES BETTER WATCH OUT TONIGHT,
THE ORANGE AND BLUE ARE READY TO FIGHT!

Saturday night, the stadium's shaking,
Ohio State fans got their whole world quaking,
The Buckeyes rolled in thinking they'd win,
But the Fighting Illini came to crash the party again!
Got the orange jerseys,
got the blue, The whole damn squad knows what to do,
Ohio State thought they'd run the show,
But Illinois came with a whole new flow!
WE BEAT THE BUCKEYES,
LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW!
FIGHTING ILLINI STEAL THE SHOW!
ORANGE AND BLUE, WE RUN THIS TOWN,
OHIO STATE, YOU'RE GOING DOWN!
HEY! HEY! HEY! LET THE VICTORY RING!
ILLINOIS IS THE BIG TEN KING!
FROM THE FIRST KICKOFF TO THE FINAL PLAY,
WE SENT THEM BUCKEYES HOME IN DISMAY!
Buckeye fans came in talking that smack,
Now they're looking for a way to get their pride back,
Quarterback scrambling, defense in a panic,
Illini bringing pressure that's straight-up volcanic!
Touchdown Illinois! Hear the crowd roar!
Buckeyes don't know what they're playing for!
Fourth quarter ticking, the game's on the line,
ILLINI FOOTBALL, IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE!
O-H-I-O? Man, we don't care!
Orange and blue got the whole place rocking in there!
You brought the hype,
but we brought the fight,
Now you're watching Illinois celebrate tonight!
You wear the scarlet,
you wear the gray,
But the Illini just sent you on your way!
Go back to Columbus,
tell them what you saw: ILLINOIS OWNS THE FIELD WHEN THE REF
BLOWS THE CALL! WE BEAT THE BUCKEYES,
LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW!
FIGHTING ILLINI STEAL THE SHOW!
ORANGE AND BLUE, WE RUN THIS TOWN,
