Illinois! Illinois!
At your very sound with a love profound
We, Illini true, salute where honor's due.
Devoted sons and daughters of the orange and blue,
We pledge forever our allegiance firm to you.

Illinois! Illinois!
Of the flowery plains but little trace remains;
From the prairie soil with long, determined toil
There grew the campus green, the spacious college halls,
Your soaring collonades and massive stadium walls.

Illinois! Illinois!
Pride of wondrous state! Fine men have made you great
Once a valiant band,—now over all the land
Illini true salute. In loyalty we stand
United in dear Alma Mater's proud command.
