	I was no letterman and didn't date a cheerleader--I had pimples and glasses and did stuff like chess club and math club and dated an honor society flute player from the band. Nevertheless, this song raises a joy in my heart and makes even the nerdiest nerd feel like the stuff of school spirit and Friday Night Football is the most wonderful and important thing to be a part of. One of Mike Love and the Beach Boy's most unforgettable tracks--and the single version of this song (with the cheerleaders) is even better.	Bruce Beatlefan	January 14, 2008

Lyrics

When some loud braggart tries to put me down
And says his school is great
I tell him right away
"Now what's the matter buddy
Ain't you heard of my school
It's number one in the state"

So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school

I got a letterman's sweater
With a letter in front
I got for footbal and track
I'm proud to where it now
When I cruise around
The other parts of the town
I got a decal in back

So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school

On Friday we'll be jacked up on the football game
And I'll be ready to fight
We're gonna smash 'em now
My girl will be working on her pom-poms now
And she'll be yelling tonight

So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school

Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
