The song was publicly performed in September 1952 for the first time by U of A band at a pep rally in downtown Tucson. A replica of the original manuscript, created by Lee on a paper sack, is displayed in the Alumni Heritage Lounge on the main floor of the Student Union Memorial Center on the university campus. Lyrics Although the following coda is not actually a part of the song, the band (along with the crowd) sometimes chants it immediately after they have played "Bear Down". Part of the chant originates in a 1988 rap song about the Arizona basketball team, written by Harvey Mason, Jr. The verse of the song is rarely sung. At most athletic events, the chorus is sung twice, followed by the chant. References Mottos Pac-12 Conference fight songs American college songs Arizona Wildcats
