I am going to miss "the victors" just as much as I am going to miss
"M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A".  :)

Since so many of you will miss hearing the Victors during the Frozen Four, I
am listing here both the short version as well as the full version. Feel
good that the short version is the one you have come to love. And if you
want the audio, from the mgoblue website

Michigan Fight Song

What are the words to the greatest fight song in the world?

The Victors (c) (L. Elbel)/Regents of the University of Michigan

Now for a cheer they are here, triumphant!
Here they come with banners flying,
In stalwart step they're nighing,
With shouts of vict'ry crying,
We hurrah, hurrah, we greet you now,
Hail!

Far we their praises sing
For the glory and fame they've bro't us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Far we their praises tell
For the glory and fame they've bro't us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Here they come, Hurrah!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
the leaders and best
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
the champions of the West!

We cheer them again
We cheer and cheer again
For Michigan, we cheer for Michigan
We cheer with might and main
We cheer, cheer, cheer
With might and main we cheer!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
the champions of the West!
