Alma Mater
(new version -- words updated for 2007)

Words by UB students, 2006
Music by Walter S. Goodale, M.D., '03


Verse #1:
The pride of our spirit and tradition,
Our alma mater's truth and name declare.
Celebrate our history and wisdom, O let us all prepare to sing her glory.

Refrain:
To Buffalo all hail to thee,
Noble and strong it's our university!
To blue and white pledge loyalty,
Singing, I will always remember thee!

Verse #2:
We'll ever keep our standards high,
And sing UB's praises to the sky.
Receiving the finest education,
Our knowledge we impart unto the nations.

(repeat refrain)

Verse #3:
Our friends we've made with ties that bind,
A union of our spirits, heart, and mind.
Together we'll continue life's journey,
O may dear Buffalo forever be.

(repeat refrain)
