Oil Thigh Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Varsity's not invincible, they tremble at the news
Of Queen's College Colours and are shaking in their shoes
Yet another victory, the chance we dare not lose
So, Gaels, go in and win!

[Hook]
Oilthigh na Banrighinn a' Bhanrighinn gu bràth!
Oilthigh na Banrighinn a' Bhanrighinn gu bràth!
Oilthigh na Banrighinn a' Bhanrighinn gu bràth!
Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill!

[Verse 2]
McGill has met defeat before, they've heard the same old tale
Of Queen's College colours, boys, the ones that seldom fail
Remember Captain Curtis and the conquerors of Yale
So, Gaels, go in and win!

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Western’s White and Purple have come down to Queen’s to score
We sent them back to London as they’d ne’er been sent before
And Queen’s again were victors as they were in days of yore
So, Gaels, go in and win!
[Verse 4]
There may be other colours to the breezes oft unfurled
And many another college yell by student voices hurled;
Queen's College colours are the dearest in the world
So, Gaels, go in and win!

[Verse 5]
What's the sport of Kings?
Queen's! Queen's! Queen's!
Oilthigh na Banrighinn Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill!
Oilthigh na Banrighinn Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill! Cha ghèill!
Go Queen´s!
