One dark night when we were all in bed,
Old Mrs. O'Leary left a light on in the shed
The cow kicked it over, then winked her eye and said
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight."
Chorus
Cheer, Boys, Cheer, the school is burning down
Cheer, Boys, Cheer, it's burning to the ground
Cheer, Boys, Cheer, it's the only one in town,
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight."
